{"product_id":"hive-cardboard-pendant-light","title":"Hive Recycled Cardboard Pendant Light by Graypants","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"lm-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHive\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Scraplights pendant from Graypants built from laser-cut layers of recycled corrugated cardboard that are stacked at an angle. A custom inner ring inside the shade lets the cord and bulb hang straight, so the layers can lean without the light leaning with them. It comes in three sizes, 9, 12 and 15 inches, and three finishes: Natural, White and Blonde.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHang a single Hive over a side table or reading chair, a trio of mixed sizes down a hallway, or a Hive 15 above the dining table. Every Hive is made to order by hand, so the pendant that arrives is made for your space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Design Story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGraypants describes Hive and Nest as the newer designs in the Scraplights Classic Series, and as the only Scraplights with angled layers. Hive tilts its layers, which gives the shade a more sculptural outline while the inner ring keeps the cord and bulb plumb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote style=\"margin:1em 0;padding-left:1em;border-left:3px solid #999\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"We use computers to design objects and create files in ways that we can use machines to get anything from the computer, and then it goes back to your hands for assembly.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSeth Grizzle, Graypants cofounder, speaking to Business of Home\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScraplights is the flagship line of Graypants, an architecture and product design studio founded by Seattle architects Seth Grizzle and Jonathan Junker, with studios in Seattle and Amsterdam. Hive is designed in Seattle, and the line has been installed in workplaces and restaurants, including the NBBJ Columbus office and the Ancestry project in Salt Lake City, both shown on the Graypants projects page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Is Made\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Hive begins as a sketch and a 3D model that becomes a set of cutting files. A laser cuts the layers from sheets of post-consumer recycled cardboard and etches a number into each one so they can be sorted. The layers are then glued up one at a time by hand with a non-toxic adhesive, treated with a non-toxic fire retardant and wrapped in recycled paper for shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe laser leaves the cut edges looking dark, and that edge, together with the corrugation, is what lets the light glow warmly through the shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHive weighs only 1.1 to 1.7 lb depending on size, so it is easy to hang and easy to group. A single Hive 9 is a quiet accent; a cluster in mixed sizes turns a ceiling into a feature, and Graypants shows Hive both in same-size clusters and paired with Nest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt works in warm, natural interiors and in white rooms alike. Natural keeps the look of the cardboard itself, while White and Blonde give you lighter options for modern, minimal spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for Real Life\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHive 9 (9 in wide, 11 in tall) suits a bedside, a small entry or a cluster. Hive 12 (12 in by 14 in) is the all-rounder for a kitchen counter or reading corner. Hive 15 (15 in by 18 in) has enough presence for a dining table or a stair landing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach one hangs on a black or white 6.5 ft (198 cm) cord, with a 16 ft (488 cm) cord available, from a black or white round canopy, and takes a single E26 bulb, up to 15W LED, with 2700K warm white recommended. The bulb is not included. Graypants also offers custom cords and canopies. Hive is rated IP20 for dry locations only. To clean it, use a dry duster or compressed air; the shade is non-toxic and handmade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"lm-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eDesigner\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGraypants, designed in Seattle, Washington\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eCollection\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScraplights Classic Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eFinishes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural, White, Blonde\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eHive 9\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9 in (22.9 cm) diameter x 11 in (27.9 cm) high, 1.1 lb (0.5 kg); packed 2.2 lb (1 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eHive 12\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 in (30.5 cm) diameter x 14 in (35.6 cm) high, 1.3 lb (0.6 kg); packed 3.3 lb (1.5 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eHive 15\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 in (38.1 cm) diameter x 18 in (45.7 cm) high, 1.7 lb (0.8 kg); packed 6.6 lb (3 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eMaterials\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecycled corrugated cardboard shade, non-toxic adhesive and fire retardant, powder-coated metal canopy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eFire retardant\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eCord and canopy\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack or white cord, 6.5 ft (198 cm), 16 ft (488 cm) available; black or white powder-coated canopy, 4.5 in (11.4 cm) diameter x 3\/8 in (1 cm) high; custom cords and canopies available\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eLight source\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne E26 socket, up to 15W LED, 2700K recommended (bulb not included)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eVoltage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120V, 50-60 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eCertification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUL certified; Red List Free; made in Seattle; BAA\/BABA compliant\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eCare\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDry duster or compressed air; the shade is non-toxic and handmade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eIP rating\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP20, dry locations only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade in the United States; designed in Seattle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eItem numbers\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGP-261-UL (Hive 9, Natural); GP-1261-UL (Hive 9, White); GP-2261-UL (Hive 9, Blonde); GP-262-UL (Hive 12, Natural); GP-1262-UL (Hive 12, White); GP-2262-UL (Hive 12, Blonde); GP-263-UL (Hive 15, Natural); GP-1263-UL (Hive 15, White); GP-2263-UL (Hive 15, Blonde)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eLead time\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural and White: made to order, about 2 weeks; Blonde: made to order, about 3 weeks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHandmade for You\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHive is made to order by hand, so each pendant is built after you choose your size and finish.
