Griffin + Chilewich

Griffin + Chilewich Combines Protection and Design - Griffin Technology Inc., the creative leader in ingenious peripherals for iPhone, iPod, Mac, and PC has collaborated with Chilewich l Sultan LLC, the design innovator of modern vinyl textiles. The result is a collection of accessories, co-branded: Griffin + Chilewich.



"Weaving with extruded vinyl yarn provides me with endless design possibilities . . . the intrinsic sheen of the yarn, its durability and the fact that it can be washed makes the finished textile modern, elegant, and functional."
- Sandy Chilewich, Chilewich l Sultan LLC

"As technology becomes more integrated in our lives, it's a natural extension for people to want something that represents them," says George Campbell, director of Industrial Design at Griffin Technology Inc. "For this reason, fashion is a natural fit with technology."

As its first offering in a collection of accessories featuring Chilewich Mini Basketweave woven vinyl, the Griffin + Chilewich cooperative introduces the Elan Form Chilewich case for iPhone 3G and 3GS. A durable and impact-resistant Griffin-engineered polycarbonate shell provides the foundation of the case. Chilewich's Mini Basketweave is wrapped around the shell, resulting in a case that is both rugged and beautiful. The woven textile is easy to keep clean and designed to look great for a lifetime. The two-piece Griffin EasyDock design provides access to all controls and ports, and allows quick docking without removing the case.

The first Griffin + Chilewich accessory, Elan Form Chilewich case for iPhone 3G and 3GS, is now available at the Apple Store and MoMA Design Store.

Available in two colors - Gravel and Light Grey - the Elan Form Chilewich case for iPhone 3G and 3GS is a distinct combination of style, comfort, and durability that is the essential complement to a fashionable tech lifestyle.
