The new Jeans layer is showcased on the Berker R1 switch and the round R-Classic features a dynamic blue denim texture. It appears as a dark blue surface with abstract lines. If paired with white switch buttons, it appears as a youthful, slightly extravagant look. One can also choose black inserts for a more understated, elegant switch.

The spectrum ranges from classic to contempo­rary designs. One can choose between various diffe­rent mate­rials within several series. Such a wide variety ensures that each arch­itect­ural line can be perfected down to the finest details.

The Berker R.Classic series stands out emotionally with its attractive round shape, four quality material options, and sleek rotary knob that evokes enthusiasm. Transporting the 1930 series into the future, the R.Classic features round switches with simple toggles that can be frameless—effortlessly stylish.

 

Finishes

Available finishes for R.Classic frames include glossy polar white, glossy black, aluminum/polar white, aluminum/black, stainless steel/polar white, stainless steel/black, polar white glass, and black glass, while the rockers and cover plates come in glossy polar white or glossy black.

Reference project

 

Ready-made home

The original dwelling, located on the outskirts of Bilbao, is set within a stylish rationalist structure by Hilario Imaz from the 1960s. Its semi-circular floor plan opens to an outdoor plaza through large North and South-facing windows. AZAB as Architects proposed a fresh home design approach, eliminating traditional distinctions—day versus night and private versus public—to foster a spacious, fluid environment devoid of hierarchy. They focused on minimalist construction, strategically arranging objects to redefine their conventional uses through color and distinctive features that invigorate the space. The materials utilized include Berker switches by HAGER MODULEC, which provide a wide range of shapes for custom solutions suitable for any architectural style, whether classic, modern classic, or contemporary.
