Artists: Cary and Jesse Stefani

With each object Cary Stefani designs, he creates more than a trendy accessory or architectural element – he fashions a work of art. He and his son Jesse are award-winning creators of metal designs. They are best known for the design and fabrication of finely crafted jewelry and for their unique approach to creating larger metalworks and architectural elements. Cary studied at Cranbrook Academy, and his son, Jesse, has a degree in Design from the College for Creative Studies in Michigan.

“In 2005, we decided to expand our services to include larger format objects – sculpture, furniture, lighting, and other architectural elements,” said Cary Stefani. “We still give the same attention to detail and design as we do when we create jewelry, but it’s on a much larger scale!” Stefani & Co. designed and created the “Tree Trellises,” which have bougainvillea climbing to fill the canopy with shade and beauty. They also created two bronze wall sculptures for the display in the Peace River Botanical & Sculpture Gardens prior to being commissioned for the Tree Trellises.
