Artisan House to Unveil New Showroom and Designs at High Point Market
At the October 2013 High Point Market, Artisan House, designers and crafters of unique, fine-quality metal sculptures for wall, floor and tabletop, will open the doors to its brand new 3,000 square foot showroom inside the IHFC Design Wing (D-246). The completely remodeled space will present 29 new pieces in a gallery-style fashion, along with other notable sculptures. In addition, the showroom’s configuration will feature vignettes along its two running glass walls for optimal product viewing. In celebration of the new space, Artisan House will be hosting a Grand Opening Mixer on Sunday, October 20th at 4:00PM. The showroom will be open during the entirety of the High Point Market, October 19 – 24, 2013.
“High Point has always been a very strong market for the company and we wanted to offer our buyers an elevated experience when shopping with us,” says John Shilling, president of Artisan House. “Our newly remodeled home provides a smoother flow pattern, and the gallery-style setting showcases the depth and details of our designs. This space also reflects the dynamic and exciting new directions that Artisan House will pursue, as we enter our 50th year in business.”
Three Collection Expansions to Launch in High Point
Showgoers can expect to see a growth in three collections from Artisan House: C. Jeré Classics, C. Jeré Gallery and Artisan House Exclusives. A total of 29 pieces makeup Artisan House’s latest launch.
A preview of five designs, which will be featured in the new Artisan House High Point showroom (IHFC Design Wing – D-246):
“Sundance” (320667) – This iconic design from the C. Jeré Classics Series has been featured in several design publications this year, and represents the best of Mid-Century Modern design. Comprised of solid copper wires and forged brass elements, a burnished, natural patina provides the piece its decades-old, antique finish. (Shown above; Dimensions: 42″ dia. x 7″; MSRP: $1,200)
“Ambrosia” (320677) – Designed in the shape of a spiral galaxy, this unique wall sculpture is made of polished chrome discs that are randomly fashioned to create the sense of motion. Part of the C. Jeré Classics Series, the piece’s final finish combines a series of flame-treated, light pastels to expose the clean chrome beneath. (Dimensions: 60” x 31” x 4.5”; MSRP: $925)
“Andromeda” (320676) – From the C. Jeré Gallery Collection, this dramatic wall sculpture is comprised of cured segments of copper, formed to emulate the motion of waves.

“Minuet S/2” (320687) – Taken from C. Jeré Classics Series archives, this whimsical set of sandpipers is designed to be hung in a variety of combinations. The bright and rich combination of pastes and primaries create a colorful statement in any interior application. (Dimensions: 40” x 29.5” x 4” MSRP $599)
“School Days” (320686) – From the C. Jeré Classics Series, this nautical-themed piece features a school of fish swimming amongst underwater foliage. Soft pastels and heavy antique treatments create the baked enamel look of this timeless piece. (Dimensions: 42″ x 19” x 7″; MSRP: $649)
