Finish Samples

Quiet control, precisely made.

Forbes & Lomax approaches electrical hardware with a focus on material clarity and restraint. Rooted in British design, the collection balances heritage craft with contemporary application, where brass, stainless steel, and glass are used for their inherent qualities.

Signature glass plates allow switches and outlets to visually recede, carrying through wall finishes with minimal interruption. Where the plate is expressed, it is resolved with equal precision, with clean lines, controlled proportions, and a considered finish palette. Solid metals are left unlacquered, allowing surfaces to oxidize and develop a natural patina over time.

Across toggles, dimmers, and power, each mechanism is defined by a quiet, articulated movement that emphasizes touch as part of the experience. The system is designed to integrate into refined interiors, supporting both traditional and contemporary contexts with consistency and restraint.

Principles

01

Architectural Integration
Plates recess into or pass through the wall plane. Every detail resolves flush so the interior finish carries uninterrupted.

02

Handwork and Origin
Each fitting assembled by hand in Britain in unlacquered solid metal — brass, bronze, nickel silver — hallmarked and traceable to the workshop.

03

Living Patina
Finishes are not sealed. They oxidize with age, matching the space they live in. The surface is not an end state; it is a continuing one.

04

System Versatility
Switches, outlets, dimmers, and plates share one material language and one tolerance standard. Specifications propagate across the range; substitutions stay consistent.
