“The extent to which you have a personal design style is the extent to which you have not solved the design problem”. —Charles Eames

Scott Ernst is equally steeped in contemporary and traditional design. He easily stands astride the flight of the imagination and the groundedness of history.

Scott’s formal training is in landscape architecture where he became fluent in the language of spatial relationships, proportion and design. His furniture draws from this idiom but is not bound by one furniture school or tradition.
Drawn in by the limitless design possibilities and three-dimensional sculptural elements of wood, Scott has, since 1991, been engaged in the intimate improvisational dance that is fine woodworking. He is an expert craftsman who is driven by both his love of the material and love of the collaborative design process.

Scott’s work can be found in residences, hospitality and corporate environments around the country. His material palette integrates the world’s finest woods with exceptional accenting materials such as veneers, resins and metals.
