From Futon Ads to Custom Furniture Masterpieces
Here’s a throwback to where it all began! Pictured here at just 16 years old, our CEO, David Navarro, was already making his mark in the furniture industry. Growing up in a family that owned high-end futon stores in Houston, Texas, David’s entrepreneurial spirit was shaped early on.
From learning to market the business and manage employees (some even older than him!) to mastering the art of sales, every experience prepared him for a future he hadn’t yet imagined. His passion for furniture design made those challenges feel effortless.
When his family began designing their own furniture lines and collaborating with fabricators, it opened new doors—transforming their retail business into a dynamic, design-driven enterprise. Their success led to expanding beyond their original Westheimer location to a second store in North Houston and a sister store, PAD, in San Francisco.
And the rest? Well, it’s history in the making. At DTANK+, David’s passion for innovation, craftsmanship, and delivering quality custom furniture continues to drive our mission every day.
We’re excited about what the future holds—one inspired piece at a time.
