Studio Black FM Sockets
From £45.00
Product Story
The Studio line is a stylish, modern take on traditional round backplates. They’re steeped in industrial history, but glass fronts and silky matt rockers give the finish a luxurious feel. This is the black, flush-mounted version of the range. Please note that the “double” sockets are in fact two singles in a double frame and require specific back boxes.
Product Options
We’ve chosen our favourite combinations of finishes and colours for this range. The modular nature of these switches allows for extensive customisation though, so get in touch if you have a different combo in mind!

Installation
Because of the modular nature of European wiring accessories, installation is slightly different to fitting the encapsulated (moulded) switches and sockets common in the UK. Have a look at the step-by-step pictures below, or consult the more detailed Gira rocker switch installation instructions.

Round and square, black and white: The Gira Studio line focuses on contrasts and takes inspiration from old-fashioned, industrial light switch designs. The round, high-gloss glass frame mirrors the ambient light beautifully without feeling too harsh with its curvy elegance.
As a surface-mounted variant in hard-working studios, workshops or stylish warehouse conversions, or as a flush-mounted version in modern living areas - it's a concept that works for a whole range of interiors.
The range
Surface-mounted or flush-mounted, the Studio range is all about high-quality glass on shatterproof thermoplastic. You can of course install it as single or multiple units as well. In the surface-mounted version, matching conduit can be connected and extended.
