About Graypants
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.
The Splinter Chair Designer Matthew Kroeker has created this chair as a metaphor for a "broken relationship, or one that has been restored."

For the next few weeks l’ll be posting about NO Design and its products. This Brazilian design office was created by a group of friends who met at college, a few years ago. Since then, all of their creations are nothing but a huge success. TANGRAN CHAIR – with the purpose of being an ecologically correct and accessible alternative for the lower classes, this chair's premise was to make good use of the OSB sheet and to reduce the number of cuts in its manufacture. The cut made for the chair's sides automatically results in the cut for the seat and the back, minimizing the expense of raw material, of the manufacturing process, avoiding waste. The chair's assembly is very easy: only eight screws for it to be ready.
It’s difficult to imagine that furniture designer Hugo França was ever an office drone, let alone one in a Sao Paulo computer company. Luckily for those of us who lust after his one-off pieces, a combination of factors (including political disenchantment with the then Brazilian government) led him to retreat, in the 1980s, from the world of micro-chips to the jungles of Bahia where he learned to work with wood; in particular, the raw hardwood from the Pequi tree.
