Sleepers Coffee Table (No. 37)

Andrew Carnegie built the rails that stitched a nation together.

Raymond Loewy gave them speed. Style. A silhouette that could outrun the wind.

We give them a second life.

This coffee table is cut from the backbone of the Industrial Age—reclaimed steel rail, hardwood timbers left untreated and creosote-free, separated by granite ballast the way the lines were meant to run. Strength. Weight. Permanence. Now brought indoors.

It isn’t nostalgia. It’s continuity.

The wood is honest. The rail is authentic. The granite stands between them like it has for generations—steady, unshaken. Topped with glass, the composition becomes architectural. Balanced. Intentional.

It belongs in cities that understand the sound of steel on steel—
New York City. Chicago. New Orleans. Kansas City. Salt Lake City. Los Angeles. San Francisco.
Places where progress wasn’t imagined. It was engineered.

Each piece is cataloged and individually numbered with an authentic railroad date nail, accompanied by a signed certificate of provenance. Because history should be documented—especially when it’s sitting in your living room.

The brand on the web of these rails reveals the early history of the steel. TCI CO is the brand of the Tennessee Coal & Iron Company. The 70 AS marks the weight per yard (70 pounds) and the profile shape (AS). Open Hearth refers to the method used to produce the steel which was replacing the Bessemer process at the turn of the century. The seven tic marks |||||||means it was rolled in July and the 05 designates it as being rolled in 1905.
