ErnstandThistle's Profile

Bio

Modern Functionality + Eco-Friendliness + Old World Charm

Ernst & Thistle is a Richmond-based design duo made up of local artists Lynalise Woodlief and Karen Wolfe.

From our ateliers in the James River Basin, we design and hand-make vintage inspired home décor, accessories, and gifts with an eye for detail and old world craftsmanship.

We developed a knack for authentically aging reproductions from our combined 20 years experience in the local film and media industries. With this and a mélange of varied art degrees, many of our pieces are an ode to simpler times, truer ideals, and lost artisan craft.

Eco-responsibility is an inherent component of our work; therefore, vintage, pre-used, salvaged and upcycled materials are used where possible (in the packaging, shipping materials and the products themselves.)
