Handcrafted from natural recycled cardboard, the Hive design introduces a more dynamic form with layered geometry that creates depth and movement. When illuminated, the material gently diffuses the light, producing a warm and intimate glow that brings atmosphere to interiors.Each pendant is precision cut using a laser, revealing the darkened edges that have become a signature of the Scraplights range. The corrugated layers allow light to pass through the material, creating a soft, textured illumination. Unlike most designs in the collection, the Hive pendant features angled layers that give the shade a unique sculptural profile, while a custom inner ring ensures the cord set and bulb remain perfectly centred.Every Scraplight is assembled by hand using non-toxic adhesive and treated with a non-toxic fire retardant for safety and durability. Combining thoughtful craftsmanship with sustainable materials, the Graypants Hive Pendant offers a distinctive lighting piece that adds warmth, character, and visual interest to contemporary spaces.
