We have a clue about Furniture

Raised and educated in New England, David Rasmussen was exposed to the region’s rich culture of fine furniture making from a young age. Rasmussen trained with furniture masters Wayne Marcoux and Dan Mosheim, from whom he learned composition and fabrication techniques. Later, he studied Danish, Ming Dynasty, and contemporary American studio furniture.

Now that we’re in between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the eating and the drinking and all of the festivities are officially underway. And if you travel over the holidays as I usually do, it is even worse because it’s more than just one day that involves all the food and drink. Plus, the planes and the public transport can really bring you down. Which is how I’m feeling now that I just got back from a trip full of wine and cheese and bread and sneezing and coughing passengers all around.

So whether you’re feeling the aftermath of all the food or the aftermath of all the travel, or both, we’ve got some delicious detoxing and cleansing soups to keep on your recipe radar. Not only am I coughing my face off, but my jeans feel tight so I need something full of warmth and healthy veggies.

Here’s what we’ve found:

Super Detox Broccoli Soup from RealEpicurean [image above]

Mulligatawny Detox Soup from Gluten-Free Goddess

Cleansing Ginger-Chicken Soup from Bon Appetit

Detox Soup from Chez Us

The Original Cabbage Soup Diet from Food.com

I included that Cabbage Soup Diet because I’ve heard people rave about it – I wouldn’t do it as a diet – I’d just like to try it!

What soups do you make to give yourself a boost?

The chevron and ombre trend have both made their way into furniture in this one piece!  Monocomplex’s latest creation, the Lean Bookshelf, is a chevron-shaped modular bookshelf unit designed to keep books upright. You can create different configurations – going from black to gray or gray to black or mix it up. Monocomplex even created a special edition Lean Bookshelf for the 2012 F/W season show windows of G.D.S in WEST, the Galleria Department Store’s luxury hall. Working with MADVICTOR, an Asian graffiti artist team, they created “Just a Vibe” – an artistic bookshelf for the clothing and window display: Share This: Twitter | Facebook | Discover more great design by following Design Milk on Twitter and Facebook . © 2012 Design Milk | Posted by Jaime Derringer in Home Furnishings | Permalink | No comments

Alessi partnered with a few designers to create the new AlessiLux Portable Table Luminaire Collection . The line, which was developed in collaboration with LED lighting company Foreverlamp , consists of four cordless lamps that can be used for everything from emergency lighting to camping, or even an extra light by your bed. They utilize energy saving LED bulbs mounted on a lamp base that houses a powerful rechargeable battery. Each lamp has a dimmer and when powered on high, the battery lasts a full 10 hours and if used on a dimmed setting, it can last for days. The Lumiere Flame (first image also) was designed by Giovanni Alessi Anghini and Gabriele Chiave and gives the feel of those old candles with its glowing bulb

From the Italian firm Mykonos Design comes the eco-friendly Clock Box , which is exactly as it sounds – a clock in a box. Using a black or white paper wine box to form the structure and to hide the clock fittings, the working clock is like a miniature grandfather clock. Long and narrow, the portable device makes telling time super easy. It comes in either the single version or a dual version so that you can keep track of two different time zones

Composed of 36 boxes that are 36cm square, Limit is a shelving unit designed by Alp Nuhoglu that actually has, well, no limits. You can stack and place the boxes any way you wish, both horizontally and vertically, to create any number of combinations to make the perfect shelf or room divider. The finished product not only is great for storage, it creates a pretty cool optical effect in the room giving it an almost sculptural quality. Limit is available through Delta Ofis .

First, we brought you the swinging table and now we present the Swing Sofa. German furniture designer Werner Aisslinger, of Studio Aisslinger , designed this rocking sofa for Vitra to promote a little relaxation in the office place. The A-frame structure suspends a comfy, cushioned sofa for two, where the smooth motion remains controlled. While it was made for the work environment, I think it’s perfect for a porch or a playroom

Julie Arrivé ‘s new Home Desk  for  Singularité-Editions  was inspired by a traditional school desk, but updated for working adults. You might remember as a child storing all your books and pencils under the desk lid, always having a nice, clean surface to work on.
