Switch collection

Cockpit.

A two-way switch with a cone-shaped knob and knurled grip, designed for spaces where the switch is part of the character of the room. Handcrafted in Belgium.

Lithoss Cockpit, cone knob switch, handcrafted in Belgium
The deliberate choice

Select is the architectural default. Restrained, minimal, resolved.
Cockpit is the deliberate choice.

The cone knob and the knurled grip give Cockpit a presence on the wall that a flat push button does not have. It is the switch for a room where the specification has been carried down to the hardware. A study, a private dining room, a bar.

Cockpit is mechanical. Two way, cross for three way switching, shutter, and a 24-250V push button that runs into a control system or a single impulse relay.

Lead time and ordering match Select. The finish range does not: Cockpit is specified as a plate and toggle combination, twenty five of them. See compatibility.

Available frames

Three frames. One collection.

Cockpit, Opera Cockpit, and Circum Cockpit share the same finish library, technology variants, and engraving options.
The frame is the only variable.

Finishes

Plate and toggle, specified together.

A Cockpit finish is a combination, not a single colour. The plate takes one finish, the toggle takes another, and the toggle is either a cone or a knurl. The Original and Circum frames carry all twenty five combinations. The Opera frame carries fifteen.
