Artisan House to Debut More Than 50 Products at Spring High Point Market
Artisan House, designers and crafters of unique, fine-quality metal sculptures, continues its yearlong 50th anniversary celebration with an impressive launch slated for the spring High Point Market. The main focus of the 54-piece launch will be an expansion of the C. Jeré Classics Collection, a timeless collection featuring the most famous and best-selling mid-century modern designs from Artisan House’s vintage archives. Other collection expansions include C. Jeré Exclusives Collection and C. Jeré Gallery Collection. The artwork retail pricing ranges between $350 and $1,850, and can be viewed at the High Point Market, April 5-10 (IHFC Design Center – #D246).
“We are not only celebrating what Artisan House founders, Jerry Fels and Kurt Freiler, began in 1964, but establishing a foundation for the next 50 years. A foundation that stems from the exceptional design and craftsmanship that has made C. Jeré recognized worldwide,” commented John Shilling, president of Artisan House.
