Artisan House Delivers Mid-Century Modern with New C. Jeré Classics Collection
Artisan House, designers and crafters of unique, fine-quality metal sculptures for wall, floor and tabletop, is embracing its mid-century modern roots and unveiling the C. Jeré Classics Collection. The timeless collection features the most famous and best-selling mid-century modern designs from Artisan House’s vintage archives. Though the company will be celebrating its 50th annivesrary in 2014, and has a virtually endless product catalog, the initial spring launch will feature a limited 20 gorgeous piece debut. The original artwork, highly sought by collectors, retails online for upwards of $5,000 per piece, but the C. Jeré Classics Collection will offer more modest price points between $449 and $2,499. C. Jeré Classics Collection can be seen at the 2013 Spring High Point Market April 20 – 25, 2013 (IHF Design Center – #D208).
“It’s hard not to find the term ‘mid-century modern’ in today’s design vocabulary. You not only see it in home furnishings, but also in fashion, housewares, architecture and even automotives,” says John Shilling, president of Artisan House. “Having watched the growing admiration for and use of mid-century modern style, plus numerous requests for original C. Jeré artwork from the 60’s and 70’s developing our C. Jeré Classics Collection was a no-brainer.”
