| | | If you take its mathematical definition, a square is just a four-sided equilateral polygon with right-angle corners, but in the world of Lithoss it holds a unique position. Designer Bart Spillemaeckers saw the square as the basic element from which he could create an exceptional range of modern switches and sockets. Lithoss's Design is striking manifestation, a melting pot of experience, professional know-how and a definite feel for aesthetics. A switch often seems a trivial element in an interior designer. For many people it is of little importance. With its range of switches and sockets, Lithoss is proving them quite wrong. It is rare indeed to find a design for a cover plate which can be as tightly integrated into any interior as the Lithoss range. Switches and sockets have become more than just something to turn the light on with or somewhere to draw power. Lithoss can be surface-mounted on the wall but can also be mounted flush. The design becomes a part of the whole and creates a balanced space. Bart Spillemaeckers' design is clean, sober, simple. This distinctive form has the rare property of being in perfect equilibrium with its surroundings, whether the style is modern or classic. A characteristic that bears witness to aesthetic maturity. Lithoss is the winner of Design Plus, the Red Dot Award and the Good Design Award (Chicago). | | |
