Lisa Ehrmantraut Brodst strives to design pieces that are simple but elegant, interesting but not overstated.  She believes that good design comes from a quieting of all the noise and letting the natural beauty of the wood shine through.  Lisa’s greatest influence was the late, great Stephen Lacey who taught her that quality of construction and thoughtful joinery are just as important as good design.

Lisa Ehrmantraut Brobst graduated from Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design (1998) with a BFA in Industrial Design and an independent study of furniture design and construction.  She now resides in Cedarburg, Wisconsin and is the owner of Square One Design.  She shows her fine furniture in the Historic Third Ward downtown Milwaukee
