QUAD Trivet by Dewa Bleisinger

Berlin-based product designer Dewa Bleisinger ‘s QUAD Trivet adjusts to a handful of sizes and patterns to accommodate any size pot you place on it. It unfolds from a simple square to a large circle, making it the only trivet you’ll ever need. It’s made from 16 wooden cubes that are connected with a silicone strip that’s hidden on the underside of the cubes. Besides being flexible, the silicone is also heat-resistant making it a safe place for your hot food.

kerFchair by Boris Goldberg

The kerFchair is a flat pack furniture designed by Boris Goldberg made from CNC-machined birch wood. Instead of bending laminated wood, he applied a different technique to achieve the same effect. By using the kerfing technique, he avoided the laborious process of pressing the sheets of wood on a bending mold and clamping the together. Instead, the structure of the chair (the legs) are used as a bending tool. You can contact Boris at goldberg.boris@gmail.com

Recipe Radar: Avocado Banana Smoothie

This past weekend was my bridal shower, where I was fortunate enough to receive a Vitamix Blender. Now, I can’t stop scouring the Internet for soups, smoothies, juices – you name it. Did you know the Vitamix heats up the soups? I had no idea and I can’t believe it. Can’t wait to try it out!

Before I venture into soups, I think I’ll start with some smoothies. I’m thinking maybe a smoothie and soup only diet is in my near future, along with some juices…

The first smoothie that’s on my radar is this Avocado Banana Smoothie. I love avocados and this smoothie looks like a great way to include them. The website that the smoothie is from, SmoothieWeb, has a ton of other great smoothie recipes if you don’t like avocados, or are interested in more.

Do you make smoothies often? What are your favorite recipes?
