Circle Series Thin: the slim round plate, also in aluminium
Circle Series Thin takes Classic's round design in a slimmer, more discreet version that sits close to the wall. It suits pared-back interiors where the switch should be noticed for its material rather than its volume.
The same circle, a lighter profile
Thin keeps Classic's reading logic: one number per product (CT11 for a push button, CT21 for a two-way switch, CT38 for an RJ45). If you have already planned a project in Classic, the transposition is direct.
The slimmer profile suits walls with a lot of raking light, thin partitions and minimalist interiors where every relief counts.
A complete range
Thin offers the same families as Classic:
- Push buttons
- single, double, with indicator or with a two-way switch (CT11 to CT14).
- Two-way switches
- single, double, with indicator or with a push button (CT13, CT21 to CT24).
- Lever push buttons
- single or double, with indicator or two-way switch (CT31 to CT35).
- Connections
- double USB, single and double RJ45, power socket, cable outlet.
Extra finishes
In addition to brass and stainless steel, Thin comes in white and black aluminium. These two shades let the switch disappear on a light wall or, on the contrary, draw it graphically on a dark one.
Thin or Classic?
Classic for a stronger presence and the widest choice of mechanisms; Thin for a lighter effect and aluminium shades. Both can live in the same house, as long as you do not mix them within one room. Wiring is a job for a qualified electrician, who checks the circuit, the regulations and the compatibility with your installation.
