A tactile and elegant design 

The Solaris collection features remodeled curved edges, a new slender, flattened toggle, and a flush concave push button. The innovative, carefully designed shapes offer ease of use and a unique and satisfying tactile experience.

The contrast between the brushed brass finish of the plate and the shiny black base of the toggle accentuates the elegant lines of the switch.

The Solaris switch, produced to exacting standards of precision thanks to MELJAC's skilled craftsmanship, is an attractive, sensuous yet wonderfully functional piece.
