Adena A-Frame Reaches First Customers
The Adena™, first conceptualized as a prototype tent display at the 2023 ARA Show in Orlando, FL, was built to highlight simple architecture in modern tent design. The first-ever prototype featured a black, powder coated “A-Frame” shape with clear vinyl tops. As the 2023 ARA tradeshow floor opened, a large group of show attendees gathered around to get a glimpse and photograph this unique, new style of tent. This excitement motivated the team at Aztec to ramp up the development process.
A year later, after developing the prototype into a fully rental ready product, the Aztec Tents team launched the Adena™ Frame Tent at “Tent Expo” in Daytona, Florida. Inspired by the modernist movement of the 1950’s, the Adena™ captures the classic visual lines of the traditional European Grubenhaus with modern flair. One of the interesting trends to come out of the events of the past four years is the clamor for unique and distinctive small event spaces.
The Adena™ answers this precisely by keeping the operational concept simple and prioritizing the design aesthetic. The clean design lines of The Adena™ create an ideal framing for: elegant backyard parties; intimate garden to table events; unique entryways; wedding ceremonies; accessory bar tents, and much more as the potential applications continue to grow. It's available as a 17’ wide tilt up frame and is expandable in increments of 10’. All fabric sections slide through a keder channel in the rafter beams and complete assembly can be achieved from the ground without the use of heavy equipment or tall ladders. Sidewalls are available to enclose as much of the tent as needed. Gable panels can be closed or left off to create a more open event atmosphere. Available in a matte black or a Graincoated™ timber finish, the frame color is customizable to fit any occasion.
"The Adena is aesthetically exciting, but it also allows rental shops to offer something new at an affordable price. It perfectly complements theTidewater products as an added point of intrigue and side gathering for a larger event, but I see it as a great stand-alone product for more intimate dinners and cocktail parties."
- Sean McCarthy, McCarthy Tents & Events.
