Graypants is a conceptual design studio aimed at responsibly creating products, architecture, and other fun things around the world. Founded in 2008, Graypants operates teams in Seattle and Amsterdam solving problems and collaborating with clients and retail partners worldwide.
The duo behind Graypants studio are often found on the streets of Seattle looking around for the material they need for the structure of their signature fixtures: cardboard boxes.
To form the Scrap lights, rings are cut by laser out of these found cardboard boxes, layered and then glued together to spheres in a way that light can fall through to cast shadows on the wall. These spheres are coated to be fire-resistant before they are hung from the ceiling as semi transparent pendant lamps. The lights designed by Graypants are definitely Scrap lights since they are 100% made out of salvaged cardboard.
Even though the Scrap lamps designed by Graypants have been around for a while, they are still striking examples of how to transform used materials into elegant design: Easily built, affordable and environmentally responsible.
Here is a video showing some of who they are and what they do.
