Description
Strawberry is a warm, muted pink, and here it carries a two gang switched socket rated 13A, with chrome inserts framing the pin apertures. The screwless plate shows no screw heads across its face, so the colour reads as one clean rectangle on the wall rather than a panel with hardware on it. Each half has its own rocker, which moves with a firm, audible click. The plate is slim and wider than it is tall, so it sits comfortably in a run above a worktop or alongside other plates at the same height.
We reach for coloured plates in rooms where the walls are already doing something: a papered dining room, a kitchen in a strong shade, a bedroom in chalky tones. Strawberry works against off-white, warm grey and deeper plums, and it feels softer than steel or black where a room is meant to be gentle rather than technical. A pair of switched sockets in one plate earns its place wherever a lamp and a charger compete for space, so bedside tables, hall consoles and desks are the obvious homes for it. Keep it to dry rooms indoors, on ordinary household mains.
The body is moulded polycarbonate, light to handle and forgiving of the odd knock from a plug lead, with the chrome inserts giving a little brightness against the pink. To clean, take a barely damp cloth to the plate and dry it straight away; solvents, cream cleaners and anything abrasive will take the sheen off the colour, so leave them under the sink. It carries a ten year warranty. We would use it as the single spot of colour in a room and leave the rest of the plates plain, which is when this finish looks most deliberate. Mixing it with brushed metal switches nearby works too, as long as the pink is the one that repeats.
