Description
Warm grey is a gentler thing on a wall than brilliant white, and this is a double socket in exactly that shade: a flat screwless plate with a clean face and no fixings on show. Both halves are switched, each with its own rocker, and the chrome inserts pick up a little light against the soft grey. Switching each side separately means you can cut the power to a lamp or a kettle without pulling the plug out. Underneath the styling it is an ordinary 13A household socket, plainly done.
We reach for this one in rooms where the walls are not white: a greige kitchen, a bedroom in mushroom or clay, a study with oak and darker paintwork. Warm grey settles into those schemes rather than interrupting them, and that tells most on a long wall carrying several power points, where white plates read as a row of bright patches. It is one we would put behind a bedside table or beside a worktop, where a plate gets looked at as often as it gets used. It suits anyone replacing accessories room by room and wanting the sockets to stop shouting. Indoors only, and on an ordinary domestic supply.
The plate and base are moulded polycarbonate in a matt warm grey, with chrome inserts and rockers for contrast, and the screwless front keeps the face uninterrupted. Cleaning takes a moment: kill the power at the consumer unit, run a barely damp cloth over the plate, dry it at once, and keep solvents and polishes away from the pin apertures. It carries a ten year warranty. A finish this quiet earns its keep by repetition, used at every position along a wall rather than once on its own.
