Sometimes it's the small details that can make an
impression—and at other times it's the small details you
want to remain subtle. Best known for their Invisible
Lightswitch® as well as their more classic pieces in metal,
Forbes & Lomax has been developing one-of-a-kind
electrical accessories for over 30 years. David Hopwood, the
company's director shares his ideas about trends in the lines
of light switches, dimmers, and more that they create.
Invisible
"The Invisible Lightswitch® is probably what we're best known
for. Inspired by glass switches from the 1930s but modernized
in acrylic, these are the perfect way to keep a wall design
consistent. It looks terrible when the pattern of a beautiful
wallpaper is interrupted with an ugly light switch plate. Some
people try to wrap their wallpaper around switch plates, but
the result is unsatisfactory and the paper gets dirty with
fingerprints. The Invisible Lightswitch® solves that problem
by allowing you to keep your wallpaper looking consistently
beautiful underneath."
