Entry Description

MELJAC has developed Solaris, a new solid brass collection of switches and sockets, in collaboration with the Australian designer Marc Newson. The range features remodeled curved edges, a new slender, flattened toggle and a flush concave push button. The carefully design shapes offer ease of use and a unique tactile experience. The contrast between the brushed brass finish of the plate and the shinny black brass base of the toggle accentuates the elegant lines of the switch. The Solaris collection is labeled "Origine France Garantie" and wins a Red Dot Award: Product Design 2021.
