Light switches in the style of the good old days
In the early 20th century, switches were usually round and made of high-quality porcelain. They were softly shaped and ergonomically designed, and in Art Nouveau they were often decorated with floral ornamentation.
In the 1930s, rotary switches were often combined with glass frames. The design became more elegant and, in the spirit of the Bauhaus, also somewhat more functional. At the same time, the first switches made of Bakelite, the early industrially produced plastic, appeared and the black rotary switch typical of the time found its way into many homes and offices.
The good old rotary switches or the delicate Rocker switches are back, reissued in different colours, materials and designs. Switches that visually and haptically make switching on the light a joyful "click" every day again.
The switches can be easily used in existing flush-mounted installations.
In this case, wires, cables and installation pipes are laid in the wall and then covered with plaster, making them largely invisible. Switches, sockets and junction boxes are mounted on flush-mounted boxes that are recessed into the wall and covered with single or multiple frames.
