Graypants began in Seattle when architects Seth Grizzle and Jonathan Junker turned scraps from a set of cardboard chairs into lights, and the lights became the business. Today the studio works from Seattle and Amsterdam, designing lighting that is handmade, long lasting and within reach: recycled cardboard pendants, kerf-cut wood and felt, spun brass, oxidized steel, Oaxacan clay and light-point chandeliers.

Most Graypants pieces are made to order, so each one is built by hand after you choose it. It is designer lighting you can afford, made to be kept.

Good to Know Before You Choose

Who makes Graypants lighting?

Graypants was founded in Seattle by architects Seth Grizzle and Jonathan Junker and works from studios in Seattle and Amsterdam. Barro is made with artisans in Oaxaca, Mexico, and Roest is designed by VanJoost in the Netherlands.

What are Scraplights made of?

Scraplights are recycled corrugated cardboard, cut with precision and assembled by hand with non-toxic adhesive and a non-toxic fire retardant. They come in Natural, White and Blonde.

How long does a Graypants light take to arrive?

Most single pendants, sconces and lamps are made to order in about 4 weeks, and multi-pendant clusters in about 6 weeks. The lead time is on every product page. Wick portable lamps ship in 1 to 2 days.

Are Graypants lights final sale?

Yes. Because each piece is handmade to order, orders are final sale, and our team is glad to talk through size, finish and placement with you before you order.

What is a Graypants cluster?

A cluster is three or five pendants on one canopy, sold as a single item. Linear canopies are 43.25 in long, and round canopies are 2 in deep and 24 in across as standard.

Which Graypants lights work outdoors?

The Wick PRO and Wick S PRO portable lamps are made for outdoor use. Fixtures on the other pages are for dry, indoor locations, and each page states the location rating.
