OUR FAMILY BUSINESS
In 2005, our love for the mountains and beauty of Summit County relocated our family to Breckenridge, CO from Elk River, MN. Having been in the furniture business for generations and our entire lives, we wanted to open a furniture store in Frisco, CO. After spending some time in Summit County, we realized that there was a need for local moderately priced furniture. With our store, we decided to bring fashionable and affordable furniture to Summit County.
For many years we sold mattresses in our furniture store, iFurnish. In 2015 we celebrated the opening of iMattress to bring a wider selection and variety to our customers.
TONY PESTELLO | DESIGNER
Taking after his family owned 20 million dollar furniture chain in Minnesota, Tony has been in the furniture and design industry for 40 years. Since opening his business in 2005, him and his team have won MSP Entrepreneur and Rookie of the Year in 2017 and Tony’s most coveted award to date the “Soul of Summit” by the Summit Foundation.
When he’s not busy with his booming design and furnishing business, he’s passionate about the Summit County community - being on the board of Summit County Housing Authority, Peak Health Alliance, Summit Prosperity Initiative, Summit County Care Clinic, and the Fris-co Town Business Advisory. He was previously the president and now holds the title of Vice President of the Summit County Chamber of Commerce. Tony loves to help people and solve problems. iFurnish has been a leader in Summit County because of Tony’s relationships, leadership, creativity, and ability to cater to all spectrums of the design and furniture world.
