New Linear Switches & Dimmers Collection
Solid Metal. Swiss Precision. Sonic Inspiration.
Buster + Punch hits the mixing desk to refine its iconic solid metal toggle switches, dimmers and outlets, using its elegant, precision-crafted linear knurl. Drawing inspiration from classic ’60s amplifiers and the world of Swiss horology, the new pieces are brought to life with meticulous attention to detail.
Buster + Punch's design ethos is rooted in the unexpected: transforming forgotten or mundane objects into statements of craftsmanship. The Linear Electricity range continues this mission by refining the brand’s signature metal detailing through a lens of architectural rigour.
- Drawing inspiration from ’60s hi-fi equipment and the technical precision of Swiss horology, the linear knurl profile evokes instrumentation, control panels and engineered apparatus.
- Each toggle, knob and plate is crafted from solid metal, it is precision-crafted.
- Decorative details are elevated to functional beauty: laser-etched dimmer index rings, torx-style screws, and the new linear knurl contribute to a sophisticated aesthetic minimalism.
- A modular design philosophy underlies the system: Detail Kits allow swapping of faceplates or tactile styles (Cross, Linear, upcoming Cast) without replacing internal modules.
This approach enables designers and homeowners to evolve the visual character of a space over time, while maintaining consistent electrical infrastructure.
The Linear Electricity collection spans the full gamut of architectural electrical components:
- Toggle switches (1-gang through 4-gang, horizontal or vertical, single or multi-way)
- Dimmers and dimmer modules (LED, 100 W, retractive compatible)
- Power outlets / socket modules including USB A + C variants
- Detail Kits and faceplates to match or retrofit different aesthetic styles
Available finishes are extensive and intended to integrate with other finishes in a building:
- White
- Black
- Steel
- Brass
- Smoked Bronze
Importantly for the Australian and New Zealand markets, the collection is engineered and code certified for residential and contract applications in those regions.
The Linear Electricity collection from Buster + Punch delivers something rare in architectural products: functional infrastructure that is consciously expressive, tactily engaging, and visually aligned with the broader architectural vision. By elevating switches, dimmers and outlets from “black boxes” to integral design components, it allows projects to articulate material coherence in every detail.
If you’re specifying fixtures in premium residences, boutique hotels, high-end offices or design-led interiors, Linear Electricity offers a richly layered option: a chance to let even the quietest details resonate.
