The Z-Box was featured on HGTV's "What You Get for the Money" in April of 07.

DHD is currently developing the Z-Box as a system of prefab components that can be wheeled through the doors of loft apartments and assembled in a matter of days. The first of these prefab assemblies is expected to be installed in a loft this summer.  Stay tuned for updates, and please contact Dan if you're interested in a Z-Box of your own.

The Z-Box was published in the May '06 issue of DWELL magazine.
