Circle Series Classic: the round switch in solid metal
Circle Series Classic is Empereur's founding collection: a round plate 80 mm in diameter, in solid metal, hand-polished. It is the most complete range, covering every use in a home, from the hallway light to the office network socket.
A round plate, an obvious gesture
The Classic plate measures 80 mm in diameter and 6 mm thick. Its curve softens the straight lines of a renovation, and sits as well on wood panelling as on polished concrete.
Every reference carries a readable number: CC11 for a single push button, CC21 for a single two-way switch, CC52 for an RJ45 socket. Once the code is understood, planning a project room by room becomes quick.
What the collection contains
Classic covers every control and connection in a home:
- Push buttons
- single, double, with indicator light or paired with a two-way switch (CC11 to CC14).
- Two-way switches
- single, double, with indicator light or with a push button (CC21 to CC24).
- Lever push buttons
- for the feel of a vintage switch (CC31 to CC35).
- Connections
- USB, single and double RJ45, power socket, cable outlet (CC51 to CC63).
Finishes
Classic comes in mirror-polished stainless steel, brushed stainless steel, polished brass, brushed brass and aged brass. The same model can be ordered in each finish, so you can compare on a real wall before deciding.
Who Classic is for
For those who want a single language throughout the house, from the first switch to the last socket. If you want a slimmer plate, look at Thin; if space is tight, Small. Wiring is a job for a qualified electrician, who checks the circuit, the regulations and the compatibility with your installation.
