One of the first mistakes we make in purchasing furniture is not knowing who the actual manufacture is. If their are not any clear labeling and the retailer doesnt know then it should be a red flag warning. Buy at your risk! Because if they dont clearly state who/where/contact/warranty etc is so who ever the manufacturer most likely will not stand behind their product and dont wish you to come calling if you have any problems.

I can tell you Furtura Leather made somewhere in China.

There's a store near san francisco, design centro italia, that carries futura italy. www.italydesign.com

Is this the manufacturer you're looking for?

I have three of the "transformables" collection-sofas that convert to beds. The covers are made from synthetic suede. I have had these for 10 years, used them heavily, and moved with them to europe and back again. They're still like new.
