On and off. Up and down. Upwards and downwards. These are the absolute basics of any switch, and for its new generation of designs, the Belgian pioneer in switches and socket outlets is getting back to those basics. Albeit with a particularly elegant and luxurious twist.
With the introduction of Niko Rocker and Niko Toggle, Niko is focusing strongly on refined design and tactile interaction. For example, the new switches are characterised by their minimalist shape and exclusive finishing, in full aluminium and steel. At the same time, the switches – which are manufactured entirely in Belgium – pay homage to Niko's rich design history and reflect more than a century of innovation and craftsmanship. With Niko Rocker and Niko Toggle, you are not just getting a decent sample of Belgian know-how into your home, but also making a stylish statement in every corner of your interior.
Switches with a story
Niko Rocker
Niko Rocker pays homage to an innovative rocker switch design by Niko from 1958. The switch distinguishes itself on the one hand through its robust metal construction, which makes a clear 'click' when switching on and off.
On the other, the long shape and subtly finished edges of the switch button form a harmonious whole with the monolithic faceplate.
Niko Toggle
Niko Toggle, meanwhile, is a modern nod to Niko's classic Bakelite® toggle switches from 1928. Niko Toggle works just like a little joystick, which you operate up or down with a small movement.
The design is characterised by a subtle notch at the top of the handle, a mildly etched texture and a robust shape.
LED
A nice-to-have? Both switches are equipped with an optional LED indicator. This shows whether the switch is on or off with a soft, warm glow.
A well thought-out function that contributes to the overall design experience.
Intelligent design and functionality
Although Niko is reaching back to the primary form of iconic designs from the past with these brand-new switches, Niko Rocker and Niko Toggle very much match up to the quality and functionality of today. For example, the switching mechanism for these switches builds upon Niko's renowned switching technology, which is also used in Niko's existing ranges for switching material.
That means Niko's latest switches are not only a pleasure to the eye, but also a joy to use. Integrated into a Niko Home Control system, the switches offer extra comfort by automating your lighting or ventilation, and they help you create the right atmosphere in an instant.
This is how Niko Rocker and Niko Toggle adapt themselves effortlessly to your lifestyle, whether you are looking for an on/off switch or a subtle dimmer.
