Artel
Founded in 1998 by Karen Feldman, ARTĚL specializes in luxury handcrafted crystal glassware. Feldman, an American designer and entrepreneur, merges modern design with traditional Czech craftsmanship.
The brand is inspired by the “artěl” collective, a group of early-20th-century Czech artisans who prioritized traditional craftsmanship over industrial production methods. ARTĚL continues this legacy by producing all of its pieces entirely by hand.
Each piece is made using mouth-blown, hand-engraved, 100% lead-free Bohemian crystal. This process preserves the age-old glassmaking techniques that have defined Bohemian crystal for centuries.
Feldman’s designs reflect a sophisticated yet whimsical style, combining functionality with a playful artistic flair. Each piece is thoughtfully crafted to be both practical and visually striking.
ARTĚL’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship sets it apart in the luxury crystal market. Every item is a unique work of art, showcasing the impeccable skill of Czech artisans.
The brand’s collections feature a wide variety of designs, from elegant glassware for special occasions to playful pieces that bring joy to everyday use. The designs often merge contemporary patterns with classic motifs.
ARTĚL glassware is highly sought after by collectors and design connoisseurs. The brand’s unique blend of modern aesthetics and traditional craftsmanship appeals to a global audience.
ARTĚL is known for its attention to detail and commitment to preserving Czech glassmaking traditions. Each product undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure flawless craftsmanship.
