Graypants describes it as ADA compliant at that depth. It comes in three widths, 13, 15 and 22 inches, and three finishes: Natural, White and Blonde.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse it to light a hallway, flank a bed or mirror, or sit above a piece of furniture.

It is meant to complement any Scraplights silhouette, so a Skew in the hallway can echo a Hive or Madison in the room beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote style=\"margin:1em 0;padding-left:1em;border-left:3px solid #999\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"I ended up making a series of four chairs from found materials, and then out of that, I took the scraps from the chairs and made lights.\"\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\u003eGraypants is an architecture and product design studio founded by Seattle architects Seth Grizzle and Jonathan Junker, with studios in Seattle and Amsterdam. Skew is designed in Seattle and made in the United States. The studio lists Scraplights installations for clients such as NBBJ in Columbus and Ancestry in Salt Lake City on its projects page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Is Made\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSkew is cut by laser from sheets of recycled corrugated cardboard, with the layers numbered so they can be sorted and assembled. Hands then glue the pieces with non-toxic adhesive, a non-toxic fire retardant is applied, and the finished sconce is packed in recycled paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe laser leaves the cut edges looking dark, and the corrugation lets the light glow through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA sconce this light, 1.25 to 2.25 lb, hangs on an ordinary wall without fuss, and its shallow depth means it will not catch shoulders in a hall. The result is warm, filtered light with a textured shade in place of a bare bulb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three sizes are proportioned differently, not just scaled: Skew 13 is the tall, narrow one, Skew 15 is short and wide, and Skew 22 is wide and moderately tall. That variety lets you vary rhythm along a corridor or pair them over a headboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for Real Life\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSkew 13 (13 in wide, 16.75 in tall) flanks a mirror or a door; Skew 15 (15 in wide, 9.75 in tall) sits well above a bedside table or console; Skew 22 (22 in wide, 14.25 in tall) works over a headboard or at the end of a long hall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Skew has two E12 sockets, max 5W LED per lamp, and Graypants recommends 2700K warm white; bulbs are not included. It is hardwired, and it is rated IP20, for dry locations only. To clean, 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\"\u003eSkew 13\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13 in (33 cm) wide x 4 in (10 cm) deep x 16.75 in (43 cm) high, 1.25 lb (0.6 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\"\u003eSkew 15\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 in (38 cm) wide x 4 in (10 cm) deep x 9.75 in (25 cm) high, 1.75 lb (0.8 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\"\u003eSkew 22\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 in (56 cm) wide x 4 in (10 cm) deep x 14.25 in (36 cm) high, 2.25 lb (1.0 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, non-toxic adhesive and fire retardant\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\"\u003eLight source\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo E12 sockets, max 5W LED each, 2700K recommended (bulbs 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, hardwired\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\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\"\u003eAccessibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 in (10.2 cm) depth, described by Graypants as ADA 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\"\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-2088-N-UL (Skew 13, Natural); GP-2090-W-UL (Skew 13, White); GP-2089-B-UL (Skew 13, Blonde); GP-2086-N-UL (Skew 15, Natural); GP-2087-W-UL (Skew 15, White); GP-2085-B-UL (Skew 15, Blonde); GP-2091-N-UL (Skew 22, Natural); GP-2093-W-UL (Skew 22, White); GP-2092-B-UL (Skew 22, 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\u003eSkew is made to order by hand, so each sconce is assembled after you choose a size and finish.
