Smart Switch: Flipping the Script

The challenge was to innovate the standard switch design, which often lacks sensory feedback. Our solution was a switch that provides physical and auditory cues to enhance user interaction, with thoughtful features like a dimmable LED light for comfort and larger buttons for accessibility, all while incorporating the distinctive Konec design language.

Our design offers a sleek, full-case LED smart switch that’s glare-free and indicates on/off status. The responsive button casing allows activation from any point on its surface. The universal back base simplifies electrical installation, and the switch comes in various materials like PC, Glass, and Aluminium with special colours. It also links multiple smart home devices to one button, enabling automated scenes with a single tap.

Our project’s design impact is multifaceted, offering a sleek and clean aesthetic that complements various interiors. The smooth materials and minimal LED light provide a premium, user-friendly experience. It supports diverse wiring needs, catering to different home setups, and simplifies installation, which is cost-effective. The low-voltage front panel and standard-compliant back base ensure safety and energy efficiency, aligning with Australian standards.
