Lithoss.
Switches, dimmers and outlet plates, handcrafted in Belgium. Exclusively in the US through Florian Lighting.
Twenty years.
The same workshop.
Lithoss was founded in Belgium by Bart Spillemaeckers, an electrician who couldn't find the switch he wanted in any catalog, so he designed it himself. More than twenty years later, every product is still made in Belgium, start to finish.
Each plate is finished by hand. Artisans sand, polish, and etch the surface, then treat it in galvanic baths. Nothing is painted to look like something it isn't. Brass develops a patina with use. Anodized aluminium holds its color permanently. Antique finishes are chemically aged, not sprayed on.
The result is a surface with real texture. It reads differently in morning light than it does at night, and it feels different under the hand than a molded or coated plate. No two are exactly alike. Photographs get close, but the material has to be touched to be understood.

Etched into the material. Not printed on it.
Engraving personalises buttons and cover plates with text or symbols that become part of the material itself. As each surface is etched the underlying tone is revealed, creating a subtle contrast that adds a crafted and enduring detail to any interior.
Engraving adds about a week to production. An order can be placed with the engraving schedule to follow, and the mechanical and finish work starts immediately.
