ABOUT NOMAD!
Hi, we’re the Mitchells and we own Nomad Furniture: a very stereotypical family business where everyone pitches in to help it run smoothly. Please let us share our story with you.
We purchased Nomad Furniture in the summer of 2019 from the well known Albuquerque bed maker Dave Cady. Dave had been building high quality beds for over 30 years in New Mexico and had built up quite a following. As Dave moved closer to retirement, and enjoying the fruit of all that hard work, he looked to sell his company. Enter Connor Mitchell, the tall one in the purple shirt.
After a 4 year stint in manufacturing Connor was ready to try something on his own, or maybe with a partner. Hello parents! Well a deal was struck with Dave and then Connor moved to New Mexico to start his training. Ken and Ana, the older two in the photo, went down as often as possible on weekends and vacation time to pitch in and see what they could learn as well. It certainly is a pretty drive in the summer from Northern Utah to New Mexico, love those Colorado plateaus.
As the training in New Mexico came to an end the two little boys (I know they aren’t little anymore but old habits die hard), Talmage and Lincoln, came down to help load everything up into the moving trucks and Nomad Furniture moved to Utah. Yep, Ana can drive a big rig with the best of them! Audrey hasn’t escaped the shop life either as she pitches in on breaks from college. We set up shop in Farr West, UT and haven’t looked back since.
Update August 2021
Two years in and things are going great. We just added two new Zero VOC finishes from Rubio Monocoat: Chocolate and Charcoal. We have made some structural improvements to the Premium rails by increasing the distance between the hardware connections. It added some labor to each frame and a bit of cost in hardware but it will be a stronger frame. Also, we are now sending a Premium footboard crosspieces for all styles (except Pecos Lite). This will be the same if you add a matching footboard or not. This helps clean up the aesthetic from the main viewpoint and added some structural strength as well.
Nomad products are made in our Utah shop with North American grown Red Oak and Hard Maple. Nomad Furniture is the designer and manufacturer of our hand-made beds. All our beds are sold through retail, online stores and this website.
We specialize in customized bed frames to meet your needs and we offer bedroom accessories.
We are proud of our Made in the USA furniture and want to make a difference in our world. We strive to use all scrap wood by supplying it to local craftsmen and for use as firewood.Our standard finish is a low VOC product and we offer
an optional Zero VOC finish as well.
