C. Jeré by Artisan House — also known as Curtis Jeré and 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.

Mid-Century Modern Sputnik Chandelier in Brass and Opaline Glass, CZ 1970s
Located in Almelo, NL
Mid-Century Modern Sputnik Chandelier in Brass and Opaline Glass, Czech Republic, 1970s A striking example of 1970s Eastern European design, this Mid-Century Modern Sputnik chandelier features a sculptural arrangement of twelve opaline glass spheres radiating from a polished brass core. Manufactured in the former Czechoslovakia, this piece captures the essence of space-age modernism with its bold geometric form and luxurious material contrast. The chandelier is constructed around a central brass sphere from which twelve angled arms extend, each terminating in a smooth, glossy opaline glass globe. The soft, milky tone of the glass provides warm, diffused light, creating a glowing effect that complements both vintage and contemporary interiors. With a height of 75 cm and a diameter of 53 cm, this chandelier has a strong visual impact without overwhelming the space. Its proportions make it ideal for dining areas, entryways, or living rooms seeking a refined statement piece. The central stem and canopy are made of polished brass, consistent with the high-quality craftsmanship typical of Czechoslovakian lighting...
