The Swtch Story

It starts with a wall

Getting to know Swtch begins with thinking about a blank wall. It begins with agonising over a colour or pattern to smooth over its surface, and the clock, mirror, wall lights, clusters of pictures and other select ephemera that come to hang on it.

A constant feature

Over time, the wall’s look will respond to directional changes in interiors, and to the many life stages of those living within it, adapting as people come into and leave it.

So getting to know Swtch really begins with knowing that, through the lifecycle of the wall, only one thing remains a constant: the light switch.

Modern, elegant utility

Despite being touched an infinite number of times each day, and staying in place for years on end, light switches are usually given little thought.

But at Swtch we believe that should change – that just because an object is classed as ‘everyday’ doesn’t mean it shouldn’t weave into your home’s wider story.

Utility can be modern; it can be elegant.

Style-led switches

Although we’ve sourced retro-look pieces, we’re not just about matching a light switch to a home’s architectural period (although you can do that if you like).

Because we think that through the things you choose for it, your Victorian semi can reflect your style, even if that’s midcentury or minimalist.

Small, significant design decisions

So our collection is a carefully curated one, of simple, special, style-led feature electricals – good-looking, well-engineered, modern wiring accessories.

It’s an edit that includes light switches from Europe that haven’t been directly available to homeowners before, because we think that small-scale but significant design decisions should be put in the hands of those who will live with them: homeowners with an interest in making not just big design statements in their decor, but small ones, too.
