The electrical layer deserves a design brief

Gallery

Few details repeat through a project as often as switches and outlets. Fewer still are touched every day. Yet they’re often left until late, after the decisions that shape how a space looks and feels.

ARIA gives that last layer more consideration.

The room doesn’t end at the switch

Consistency, or the lack of it, shows up in the finished room.

ARIA spans 144 coordinated outlets, switches, dimmers, data points and accessories. That breadth matters when the brief moves beyond the obvious points. The switch by the door. The outlet beside the bench. Laptop charging at the desk. Appliance control in the kitchen. The data point beside the television.

They can all stay inside the same ARIA family instead of one late-added function becoming the odd rectangle on the wall.

From power to data, the detail holds.

Matte or metal. Two different stories

Material changes how a switch sits in the room, catches light and feels under the hand.

ARIA Matte uses polycarbonate with a controlled surface designed to resist oil and grime. ARIA Signature takes a different route. Light Grey Brass and Dark Grey Silver use real anodised aluminium, finished with a contrasting semi-gloss edge that catches light around the plate.

The difference becomes most apparent as light moves across the wall: matte absorbs it; aluminium gives something back. Dark Grey Silver works with cool neutrals, darker surfaces and brushed metal. Light Grey Brass brings warmth beside soft whites, pale timber and brass hardware.

The switch doesn’t need to become the hero. It simply needs to belong.

The interaction should belong too

How it feels matters as much as how it looks.

ARIA’s LED-backlit push-button and toggle controls introduce a distinctive geometric glow at the point of touch. It gives the range a recognisable visual signature when illuminated, while the toggle dimmer makes the interaction just as deliberate: press to switch, lift to brighten and lower to dim.

Light rises and falls with a soft fade. How it works is as seamless as how it looks.

More function inside the wall

The electrical brief is changing too. Fast charging, clearer controls and connectivity now need to sit alongside traditional power without multiplying the clutter.

ARIA’s Australian-first Twin USB-C outlet delivers up to 65W from a single port, bringing laptop-capable charging directly into the wall. No separate charger brick occupying the outlet or work surface. Just more capability inside the same slim 6.25mm profile.

Function-icon switch mechs bring the same thinking to control, marking fan, heat, light, sensor, hob, oven and range functions with clean symbols instead of tiny labels. More information at the point of touch, without adding another thing to the wall.

A detail still has to survive the build

What is specified must survive fit-off.

Behind ARIA’s slim front face are trade-friendly 30mm mech apertures, 54mm hole-saw cut-outs and installation details developed around the way electricians already work.

A more considered finish shouldn’t ask the electrician to relearn the job behind it.
