Griffin Technology, one of the world’s foremost creators of innovations for everyday life, has partnered with Rail Yard Studios, creators of unique custom furniture made from historic century-old railroad steel and hardwood timbers, to construct two exclusive tablet stands. Fashioned from reclaimed rail stock installed on the original Louisville and Nashville Railroad between 1906 and 1908, the Rail Slice Tablet Stand and the Rail Artifact Stand celebrate the rich history of the original superhighway – the railroad.

"We know consumers are looking for unique and interesting gifts for the tech-lover in their lives so we partnered with Rail Yard Studios to offer hand-made pieces they can't find anywhere else," said Scott Naylor, VP of Product Development at Griffin Technology. "These rare tablet stands are American-made and the perfect way to preserve a piece of history in the digital age."

Each stand is built to hold a full or mini sized tablet in both landscape and portrait orientation. Rail Slice Tablet Stand is a piece of decommissioned rail with a milled cavity to accommodate a charging cable and allow the tablet's speakers to project sound without obstruction. Rail Artifact Stand is created from two antique railroad spikes with a tie plate that was used to hold the railroad together.

Designed and hand-made in small batches at Nashville-based Rail Yard Studios, every piece in the collection has decades of history, evident in the century-old steel, pitted exteriors and worn edges. Since the forged steel may scratch the finishes of tablets, the use of a case is recommended. Every Rail Yard Studios stand purchased on Griffin’s website will be accompanied with a complimentary Griffin tablet case of the buyer’s choice.

The Rail Slice Tablet Stand and the Rail Artifact Stand, both $129.99, are exclusively available at griffintechnology.com and qualify for free economy shipping. For more information, visit: http://store.griffintechnology.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=%22rail+yard+....
