As a woodworker, designer and builder, David Rasmussen’s pieces are intended to be the heirlooms of future generations. He works with sustainable materials to create functional solid wood furniture as well as enchanting treehouses. His custom furniture is rooted in the traditions of woodworking and influenced by the natural landscape.
Raised and educated in New England, David was exposed to the Northeast’s rich culture of fine furniture making from a young age. David apprenticed with several furniture masters including Wayne Marcoux who makes handmade hardwood furniture in New Hampshire, and Vermont modern furniture designer, Dan Mosheim. David’s avant-garde approach to developing his craft led him all over the United States, building handicap accessible treehouses for Vermont-based Forever Young Treehouses.
An admiration for green design, and a conviction to incorporate sustainable and reclaimed materials into his work, led David to Carbondale, Colorado in 2007 where he opened his Carbondale studio. Since then, he has partnered with Green Line Architects to design and build one-of-a-kind treehouses for those who are young at heart.
David’s furniture is crafted from fine woods and sometimes metal, and combines elegant techniques with a graceful reflection of the lines he finds in nature as well as the forms of Asian, Danish and contemporary furniture. Always driven by artistic design and aesthetic value, David makes functional furniture and treehouses.
David is currently taking commissions for his exceptional pieces and works directly with interior designers and architects to bring their ideas to life.
