MELJAC, the leader in luxury switches, presents Solaris, a new solid brass collection in collaboration with Australian designer Marc Newson.
« We are very proud of this new line, the result of 18 months of painstaking research and development. The partnership with Marc Newson showcases MELJAC’s expertise and its unique role as a test bed for bespoke products, making it highly sought after by architects and designers. Our company’s strength lies in its high-end innovation – it is a pioneer in its sector », explains Jean-Michel Lagarde, Managing Director of MELJAC.
The Solaris collection features remodelled curved edges, a new slender, flattened toggle and a flush concave push button. The innovative, carefully designed shapes offer ease of use and a unique and satisfying tactile experience.
The contrast between the brushed brass finish of the plate and the brass shiny black base of the toggle accentuates the elegant lines of the switch. Bold aesthetic, sleek design… this innovation, made in France and Origin France Guarantee labelled, reflects the winning combination of state-of-the-art technologies and meticulous craftsmanship.
The range is available in several functions: sockets, RJ sockets, USB… For low voltage (smart homes), can be adapted for line voltage. Many sizes and finishes to choose from. Screwless. Customisable with engraved or screen-printed words, symbols, pictograms, etc.
