We are a privately held catalog company located in Elk Grove Village, IL with four retail locations in the Chicagoland area. Our flagship store is located in fashionable downtown Arlington Heights, with the other locations situated on Michigan Avenue, the Clybourn Corridor, and Hinsdale. We were named in Inc 500 magazine?s list of the fastest growing privately-held companies for three consecutive years: an honor unprecedented among catalogers. Our founders, Michael and Marilyn Stopka, created Design Toscano in 1990. On a trip to Paris, the Stopkas first saw the marvelous carvings of gargoyles and water spouts at the Notre Dame Cathedral. Inspired by the beauty and mystery of these pieces, they decided to introduce the world of medieval gargoyles to America in 1993. On a later trip to Albi, France, the Stopkas had the pleasure to be exposed to the world of Jacquard tapestries that they quickly added to the growing catalog. Tapestries are among the current favorites with Design Toscano?s customers, along with the extensive collection of garden fountains, statuary, on-canvas replicas of oil painting masterpieces and antique art reproductions. At Design Toscano we pride ourselves on attention to detail by traveling directly to the source for all historical replicas. Over 90% of our catalog?s offerings are exclusive to the Design Toscano brand, allowing us to present unusual decorative items unavailable elsewhere. Our attention to detail extends throughout the company especially in the areas of customer service and shipping.
