yes - we’re talking about the trace paper version here, and we knew there had to be better home for our old process drawings than overstuffed file drawers and every other nook and cranny around our desks we could find.  each sketch light is a unique handmade representation of our creative process.

instilling new spirit into salvaged pieces of corrugated cardboard, a scrap light’s lively play on light and shadow invigorates once lifeless materials.

scrap chairs are the pure result of pillaging trash to create elegant, useful products. the chair of layered plywood scraps follows earlier versions of cardboard and newspaper.

designed with prentiss architects, pixel point is an inhabitable lantern enriching it’s landscape. it would have the opportunity of living two lives: 1] a study addition to a cabin, 2] a recoil space in the woods after cabin demolition.

designed in conjunction with sullivan conard architects. the 2+1 house feels right at home claiming its spot on a steep seattle hill overlooking lake washington. its simplicity in form and program blends site and lifestyle into one – a pure experience driven by the natural surroundings.

Seth and Jonathan are architects incapable of keeping their collective creative vehemence at bay. They first crossed paths at Kent State University in Cleveland, honing abilities to endure long winters and earning professional degrees in architecture + design. Now, eight years of collaboration and spirited adventure has landed them in Seattle, where Graypants, Inc. was forged from a desire to make a difference through design.
