Household electrical manufacturer Clipsal by Schneider Electric has launched a new premium switch and power point range aimed at blending with architectural and residential design projects.
The Solis range incorporates world-class design and premium finishes, backed by research and development, according to Clipsal. Timer Control Switch
Designed by Jim Hannon-Tan and the company’s Asia Pacific Design Lab team, Solis is said by Clipsal to use ‘playful asymmetry references such as ‘golden rectangle’, and pure geometric forms’.
Clipsal by Schneider Electric Chris Kerr said: “Clipsal has stood side-by-side with Aussie sparkies and homes, delivering world-leading electrical innovations for over 100 years – the Solis range is no exception.
“Using an industrial ceramic, the new designs are tougher, and resistant to dirt, fingerprints, and scratches for an optimal experience.
“We created the Solis range to meet the needs of those who desire a beautiful, functional product that could sit easily in high-end projects, while satisfying the technical requirements of electricians, and delighting residential homeowners.”
Solis is available in two series. For those who prefer monochromatic switches and sockets, the Solis series features a fine matte texture in black and white. Meanwhile, the Solis T series is available in brushed brass, anodised aluminium, and white ceramic.
Kerr said: “Power points and light switches may sit in a wall for up to 30 years, so it’s important that they are built to withstand Australian conditions with design themes that are consistent across decades.
“We touch light switches more often than other home items, so it should feel luxurious each time.”
According to Kerr, the Solis range was designed with architects and designers in mind, providing them with an electrical product as carefully considered as their commissioned works.
“Solis might be a small part of their overall design, but it brings an important level of quality and attention to detail to residential projects.”
The Solis range is available Australia-wide from spring through electricians and Clipsal’s authorised wholesalers.
