Zad Design & Mfg. Introduces Ash Tri-Fold Futon Collection

Zad Design & Mfg., based in Oxnard, California, has taken its American made hardwood futon frame to a new level with a patent pending, ash, tri-fold collection. With the improved mechanism, futon frames convert from bed to lounger and lounge to chair with ease, using a front loaded operation. These tri-fold mechanisms are available in Twin, Full, and Queen sizes and come in four different arm designs. Presented at the San Francisco Design Furnishing Show, these new futon frames along with the antique finished pine frame collections were well received by shoppers. Since buying its own manufacturing plant early this year, Zad Design now manufactures its frames, futons, and futon related softgoods in its own facility; as a result, there is a consistent quality control in every product it ships out. This practice distinguishes Zad Design & Manufacturing from many other futon dealers and manufacturers.

As its slogan, "Where the technology meets the craftsmanship" says, Zad Design brings its well-studied product into the futon market.
