Roest

In their first outside collaboration, Graypants teamed up with
Dutch designer VanJoost to expand on their curiosities and
learn the craft of another designer. The collaboration with
VanJoost highlights Graypants unique fascination with
nature and material research.
Roest reflects unpretentious simplicity, and the unique
finish on every single piece is what makes this collection
truly special. To achieve the desired patina, each piece is
finished by hand, and no two are alike. VanJoost starts with
raw, steel pipes and rinses them in a vinegar bath which
seeps into the pores of the metal creating a hardy and pitted
surface - this helps the subsequent rusting process set in, in
a deeper way. Each piece is then treated with a solution that
starts a chemical reaction accelerating the effects of how
elements would impact steel over time - a process that would
otherwise take more than six months. Designed by VanJoost
and hand-made in Holland, Roest presents natural colors that
elevate any setting.
