at this year's ICFF, graypants, inc. displayed their 'scrap' lights, a series of lampshades
which inject new spirit into discarded pieces of corrugated cardboard.
made entirely from repurposed cardboard boxes, each lampshade is individually handmade,
slightly varying in shape and size, making each one unique.
they come in a selection of shapes, including bell shads, irregular-shaped shades
and disc-shaped shades.
the graypants, inc. trio of jon dentry, seth gazle and jonathan junker will also be
participating in designboom's kitchen ecology exhibition next month.
