About this Product
The Ray Tablet Stand takes its inspiration from modern bent plywood’s roots: The Eames LCW molded plywood chair. The bent plywood construction creates a stronger material than solid wood, so it can achieve the modern, minimal aesthetic that pairs so nicely with modern electronics. Just like Charles & Ray Eames, I spent countless hours carefully testing and tweaking the design until I zeroed in on the perfect angles and proportions. As a result, the Ray iPad Stand securely holds tablets of all sizes at just the right angle for cooking from a recipe, watching a movie, working with an extra monitor, reading an ebook and so much more.
Handmade in 1-2 weeks.
+ Height: 7"

+ Weight: 7 oz
+ Each stand is handmade from natural materials, so there will be some variation in color and wood grain.
I make each Ray from 10 layers of sustainably-harvested wood veneer that are glued, layered, trimmed, sanded, and finished by hand, so each one is impeccably made and completely unique. The matte, all natural oil finish creates a rich, natural look that's durable and is water- and stain-resistant. It's applied by hand to ensure complete coverage, optimal thickness and a hand-rubbed lustre that holds for years to come, so you won’t have to worry about spills or splatters while you cook. Cork feet keep it from sliding and protect from scratches.
Ciseal
Meet the Maker
Ciseal was inspired by the Midcentury Modern architecture and design that’s so prevalent in and around Detroit. The thoughtful, functional blend of nature and the modern, clean lines of these buildings influenced me to create my own designs using the natural material and modern method of woodlayering.
Ciseal began in 2013 with a few layers of wood veneer, a bottle of wood glue, a handmade mold and some clamps. Those ingredients made my very first product - the Ray iPad Stand. Ciseal has been growing steadily ever since - supporting my design habit one bent plywood product at a time.
I proudly design and make all of my products by hand from sustainably-harvested wood in my Leonard, Michigan studio. Each Ciseal product is inspired by the beautiful state of Michigan, and thoughtfully vetted through countless hours of research, design, and crafting. The finished products I offer are the result of many iterations and fine tuning for comfort, usability, and style. The quality of my products is in the details: the intentional curves, the hand-layered, sustainable wood veneer, and the ease of use.
Ciseal is an Irish Gaelic word for layer. It's pronounced KISH-ill by the Irish, but I've taken to pronouncing it sis-EEL
Woodlayering is my craft, but as a person, I'm always learning, growing, and evolving. Ciseal is about how we layer the trappings of life in a way that uniquely speaks to our soul. It’s a way of life, a mindset that focuses our attention on finding and embracing all of the layers that matter so that we are free to take our pleasure seriously.
