Rooted in Seattle as architects, founders Seth Grizzle and Jonathan Junker decided to further feed their creative appetites through product design and art exhibits. In 2007, Graypants was scribbled onto a piece of paper and the new company's flagship line of pendant lights made entirely of repurposed corrugated cardboard was introduced. Scraplights quickly became a prime example of the principles that Graypants embodies to this day – responsible design, responsible materials, and responsible production. In 2012, their Amsterdam studio was founded to become a hub for local European production and distribution to over forty countries, and has partnered with social works programs to provide craft-based work where needed the most. Today, Graypants continues to expand its custom portfolio, from architectural installations to public artworks, and has numerous product lines sold throughout the world. The range of their work is comprehensive, covering residential and commercial lighting, furniture, packaging designs, and architecture.
