Curtis Jeré
Though the name Curtis Jeré is familiar to many as the maker of ebullient and eccentric modern design from the 1960s and ‘70s, relatively few are aware that it is a pseudonym for the design team of Curtis Freiler and Jerry Fels. Together, the two created some of the most striking and vivid furnishings and decorative objects of their era, from sculptures and dynamically framed mirrors, to lighting and wall decorations.
New Yorkers Freiler and Fels had collaborated for two decades on small jewelry lines before launching a design company called Artisan House in 1964. They combined variants of their names to create an artful persona — sometimes shortened to C. Jeré; the "surname" is pronounced with a rising inflection: jhayr-EH — that stood behind large-scale decorative metalwork, marked by semi-abstract petal forms with burnt and brazed edges. Fels served as head of design, and Freiler, known for his keen handiwork, was the production chief. The pair’s eclectic metalwork has captivated decorative art collectors and interior designers ever since.
The work of Curtis Jeré displays a sense of playfulness and curiosity, while drawing on inspirations and themes that include flowers, discs, geometric forms and animal figures. Freiler and Fels had a masterful ability to work with different materials, such as patinated brass and brilliant chrome.
The price of a Curtis Jeré mirror, lamp, wall-mounted sculpture or tabletop sculpture can range from $400 to $12,000, depending on the size, the rarity of the piece, the intricacy of the metalwork and the materials used in its construction. Other factors like condition can affect the perceived value and, thus, the cost of works by Curtis Jeré.
As you will see on 1stDibs, the imaginative powers of the designers of Curtis Jeré pieces were boundless, and their creations will add a dash of verve in any room.

- Artist Made Stone Platter by Don MossLocated in New York, NYA stunning stone platter or bowl by Don Moss. Moss creates pieces with the intent to “bring the wild energy of nature into our living space to be a remembrance and meditation on our personal connection to the wilderness”. His ceramic structures often include a black concrete which binds twigs or stones in a manner that is at once highly organized and yet has qualities that are spontaneous and random. His ultimate goal is to create work that does not appear as pottery, rather that looks “like you stumbled upon it while crossing a stream and it becomes an exciting discovery to lift up and carry home.” From a formal perspective Moss's work has much akin with modern art and abstraction. Don Moss has a background in product design and commercial graphics and holds a degree in Industrial Design from Syracuse University. For the last 20 years, Moss has been making furniture and sculpture with natural materials in a rustic vein and has found a dedicated audience in New York and Connecticut. He has been a regular exhibitor at the Adirondack Museum furniture show and his work has also been shown at the Wharton Esherick Museum. Publications include CT House & Garden Magazine and Lark Books “500 Tables”.Category
