About Us

Our Story

Hi, we’re the Mitchells, the family behind Nomad Furniture—a true family business where everyone pitches in to keep things running smoothly.

In the summer of 2019, we purchased Nomad Furniture from well-known Albuquerque bed maker Dave Cady. For more than 30 years Dave built high-quality beds in New Mexico and earned a devoted following. As he prepared for retirement, he looked for the right people to carry his legacy forward.

Enter Connor Mitchell—the tall one in the purple shirt. After four years in manufacturing, Connor was ready to strike out on his own…or maybe with a little help from his parents. He moved to New Mexico to begin training with Dave, while Ken and Ana—the “older two” in the photo—drove down on weekends and vacation days to learn the ropes. The drive from northern Utah through the Colorado plateaus was gorgeous, especially in summer.

When training wrapped up, the whole family packed everything into moving trucks and brought Nomad Furniture home to Utah. Together we set up shop in Farr West and began growing the business we love.

A Trial by Fire

 

 

On a summer night in June 2024, everything changed. We received a call with devastating news: our shop was on fire.

By morning, every piece of equipment and all of our materials were gone. For a moment we considered closing our doors for good.

But we couldn’t walk away from the business we’d poured our hearts into. As heartbreaking as the fire was, it became an unexpected opportunity to rebuild stronger and smarter.

Rebuilding and Improving

Rising from the ashes, we welcomed our son-in-law—and engineer—Jake into both our family and the company. We refocused on our best-selling frames and introduced a beautiful new nightstand to complement them.

Every frame now features upgraded premium rails, slats, and a center leg making them visually and structurally stronger. We also switched to Daddy Van’s all-natural hemp oil and continue to offer Rubio finishes, ensuring all of our finishes are Zero-VOC.
