Jac Zagoory Desk Art
As an artist Jac Zagoory has created a new dimension of form and grace. He revels in the rare and unique - from vintage wrist watches to antique collector's pens. His vast knowledge of these topics spirals from his education at the Fashion Institute of Technology in jewelry design and fabrication. Zagoory found early inspiration as a metal sculptor applying essential elements of design to his creations. He then discovered a passion for the watch as an art form. His first book, A Time to Watch, The Wrist Watch As Art: Classic, Rare, Extraordinary, was published after Zagoory spent a year in the Far East and Europe. The love Zagoory possesses for the pen roots from his extensive background in design and his ability to extend the importance of art into everyday life. Realizing the growing need for desk accessories that not only created order but also highlighted the individual, the artist formed Jac Zagoory Designs. His extensive array of penholders, inkwells, rocker blotters, card holders, and letter openers exists as art in and of themselves. With his vision, the office, the home, the desk have become places where great beauty melds with function - where art compliments art.
