Artisan House Home Accents

American

Artisan House — also known as Curtis Jeré and C. Jeré by Artisan House — is an internationally acclaimed design firm that offers a wide variety of sculptures, decorative objects and furniture to its sophisticated clientele. 

Founded in New York City by designers Curtis Frelier and Jerry Fels, Artisan House became revered for its Pop art, brutalist and semi-abstract wall sculptures and other decor in alluring patinated brass, copper and polished stainless steel. The studio’s works display a sense of playfulness and curiosity, while drawing on inspirations and themes that include flowers, discs, geometric forms and animal figures. 

Brothers-in-law Frelier and Fels established Artisan House in 1964 after a successful run with a costume jewelry business. With Fels installed as head of design and Frelier as chief of production, Artisan House created exquisitely handcrafted sculptures and furniture that became synonymous with high society decor. While the founders sold Artisan House in 1972, the firm has continued to grow its successful creative business, partnering with the likes of Jonathan Adler and producing furnishings for hospitality properties as sets for films and TV shows such as Mad Men, an explosively successful series and paean to mid-century modern design

In 2006, Artisan House moved its base of operations from Los Angeles to a 40,000-square-foot facility in Burbank. This location features a photography studio, design studio, proprietary CAD design system, special ovens and an all-encompassing finishing floor. Artisan House employs a formidable team of talented craftspeople at their two overseas production facilities, which are poised to introduce new designs every April and October in major global markets.

The firm is looking to the future with Artisan House Europe, a sister company based in the Netherlands which opened in 2009. C. Jeré by Artisan House is a highlighted exhibitor at the New York Art Expo, HD Las Vegas and Maison & Objet, Paris
