Focus SB® unveils a high quality low profile solid brass flat screwless plate featuring distinctive square corner detail entitled Renaissance, an evolution of a classic design and unrivalled on the luxury electrical hardware market.
A design-first product with luxurious solidity and distinctive finish detail
Modern and crafted to last in-house from highest specification recycled solid brass, the stylishly symmetrical Renaissance low profile screwless plate is manufactured utilising more raw material than similar options on the market. Human artistry complemented by custom CNC and Cobot technology showcases a striking product featuring outstanding precision engineered qualities with deliberately unbranded socket inserts and a lack of visible screws for a minimalist design aesthetic.
In-house design and manufacture
Imagined in-house, the Renaissance product design is led by sustainable processes from start to finish. Available in bespoke sizes, this attractive low profile solution is achieved by cleverly conceived pocketed, clip and divot design details to the rear of the plate with hidden fixings for a superior flush electrical installation. With precisely machined switch and socket apertures, detail and craftsmanship are reinforced by reverse pressing blank brass plates for sharper edges which are hand polished for consistent high quality, a signature touch unique to Focus SB.
Exclusive finishes palette
Exclusive to the Renaissance product range a finishes palette comprises ‘Ochre’, ‘Sienna’, ‘Roma’ and ‘Umber’. A fifth finish entitled ‘Canvas’ offers architects and interior designers primed and bespoke colour coated solutions for design story continuity. Plates are sprayed with matt lacquer in-house to retain lustre.
Available in Hong Kong, the Middle East and UK
Available for architects and interior designers to specify for prestigious residential and hospitality interiors projects in Hong Kong, the Middle East and the UK, Renaissance faceplates are manufactured, finished, tested, assembled and packaged in-house across the company’s three production sites in St Leonards on Sea, East Sussex prior to despatch.
The Concept
Managing Director Focus SB, Gary Stevens says: “When I set our in-house technical design team the Renaissance brief in 2021, I knew it would be challenging because what I wanted didn’t exist! The concept was to design a true flat screwless plate with square corners, rather than a formed, or dished plate, or one that sits inside a frame in two pieces, or sits on a visible plastic frame, like the majority of available products on the market.
“I also wanted the ability to create bespoke sizes because that will be a prerequisite for most high end residential or hospitality projects. The team set about designing and trialling various solutions, taking inspiration from traditional and modern architecture, and the result is Renaissance, the rebirth of a classic design. A product like no other on the luxury market today – a true work of art.”
