Emperor: Steel Passion
Christophe Pingaud, architect and designer, is a fan of steel and, more specifically, stainless steel. more commonly called lnox. For the Circle Series (Emperor) switches, he chose to carve the round shape of his designs from the mass of this cold but soft material and polish them by hand. The manufacturing is 100% French (except for the sockets in the same range, which are made in Germany), both artisanal, ethical and respectful of environmental standards. Several finishes are available, including polished or brushed mirror, as well as gold-plated brass or matte black. The high resistance of these devices allows them to be used in aggressive environments, such as the seaside, but only indoors. LP
CIRCLE SERIES
Carved from the mass of stainless steel or brass, polished by hand, the switch transcends its function to become an object of art. It translates through its sensual curves, all in roundness, the refinement of an interior space.
Its pure, soft lines and its presence, both discreet and radiant, make this switch a decorative element in its own right.
