Wick
Wick is designed with the belief that light is meant to be shared: it is the connecting tool that humanises moments of our lives. Creating a place to gather, Wick is designed to be a companion, to join in adventures and create togetherness and ambiance every time. Wick is a call from our past to the future. It’s the opportunity to mindfully light the present. Combining the romance of a candle with the utility of a flashlight, Wick adapts to and fits a broad variety of contexts, from an intimate home to a bustling restaurant patio, to a warm office kitchen.
Leveraging the same design language and features, Wick S has a slightly shorter profile for more versatility. Whether you are new to the Wick family or looking to layer Wick S with your existing Wicks to create more dimension, we are excited to expand on this beautiful product.
With this very limited edition of just 250 total lights, the Graypants team has committed to donating at least 50% of the proceeds of each Wick, to the Learning for Life school. This means that for every Wick sold, one child will be supported in their schooling for three months.
The Designer
For our first portable lamp collection, we took our design cues from one of the original portable light sources, the classic chamberstick and candle. By refining the design into its most elemental form, we created a lamp that combines the romance of a candle – with the utility of a flashlight. The Wick collection is a great example of how we can utilize new technology in battery and LED design to create an elegant and minimal form factor that otherwise would be impossible to achieve.
The design is the result of a close collaboration between our Amsterdam and Seattle studios, brought to life through the creative partnership of Seth Grizzle, Arno Ruijzenaars, and Erwin Termaat.
