The Dock Smith is a gadget accessory brand that is blending nature with technology with a series of device stands that are made using tree branches. The branches retain their natural shape and aesthetic with slots added to hold devices such as smartphones and tablets. The designs make use of raw materials to support tech to create a contrasting balance between the two polar opposite products.
The tablet docks are stylish, minimalist and naturalistic using real tree branches as the base of the unit. The docks maintain the natural shape and aesthetic of the branch by simply adding dented slots for the smartphones and tablets to sit in so they can stand upright. Due to the large size of the branches, the docks can display multiple devices at once.
