Graypants is a company that uses our scrap wisely.  Architect’s, Seth and Jon, have blended their love of design and architecture to produce beautiful lighting from cardboard.  Having first crossed paths at Kent State, a decade of collaboration and spirited adventure landed the pair in Seattle with the desire to make a difference through design.  “We want to let the beauty of what we love to be what we do.”  Well said my friend.

Any shape conceivable can be created by this design duo.  They actually welcome the challenge.  The star shape below is very seductive.

Clean lines, refelective raw aluminum, efficient use of material, and an interlocking assembly were ideas that greypants had in mind as they began to design the Step Light.

You have to admit that the ambient light that the Step Light gives off is really cool.

Oh, and they make chairs from recycled plywood.  The Slice Chair.  The name is great - kinda reminds me of an egg slicer - maybe that was graypants inspiration.  Regardless, this chair and ottoman define movement in seating.

The have also designed the Slice Cafe and Dining Chair.  The fluidity of this design is timeless.  Best new recycled chair I have seen in some time.  The site doesn't mention that they are for outdoor use but, I would think that if they were sprayed with marine grade poly then, they could hold up for a summer or two in Maine, on a covered porch so to speak.

This is another example of if you can dream it up we will make it.  I think this would make a really great artful floor lamp.  Maybe some day graypants can fashion one of these in aluminum for an outdoor architectural element where light is needed.

Obviously, they are as creative as their designs.  graypants
