ABOUT LISA & RENATUS

Lisa’s story began in January 2014, while designing outdoor furniture for her home. She wanted the space to be a place for family and friends to gather and relax, a place to heal, protect, and make you feel at peace. Her love for design and creation led her to an opportunity to build outdoor furniture for others to enjoy. That was the easy part, the real challenge was finding the right wood. With an F150 truck and a dream, she set out on her journey.

Renatus, Latin for rebirth, does not just reference the rebirth of our storied products, but also that of heritage. Renatus began from a need to find unique, quality wood to build outdoor furniture. This search opened many doors for Lisa which led her down the same path as her ancestors who were craftsmen and sawmill owners in their times. From these first connections, she started supplying quality lumber to wholesalers along the East Coast... Renatus was born. 

Over the past year, the focus has shifted to teaming with architects and designers to provide one-of-a-kind products specially tailored to each project. Lisa and her team keep in close contact with clients while out in the field to track down and procure the perfect wood for their projects.
