Description
Two telephone connections sit behind a single screwless faceplate here, finished in a textured carbon fibre weave. The surface carries a fine directional grain that shifts with the light through the day, and with no screw heads on show the front reads as one clean piece. The plate is square and slim in profile, so it stays close to the wall rather than standing proud of it. This is a low voltage accessory for telephone and data circuits, not a power point, and it is intended for dry indoor rooms only.
We would put it where two lines need to land in the same spot: a study desk with a phone and a second point for a fax or an answering unit, a hallway table, or a media wall where cabling is gathered in one place. The dark, near black tone works hard in schemes built on charcoal paint, smoked glass, graphite metalwork and dark timber, where a white plate would jump out. It suits anyone tidying up a run of tired accessories without repainting around them, since the faceplate covers a good area of wall.
The body is polycarbonate with metal parts inside, and the textured finish is far kinder to fingerprints and light scuffing than a gloss plate. To clean it, wipe along the grain with a dry microfibre cloth; if something has marked the surface, a barely damp cloth will lift it, but keep sprays, solvents and cream cleaners away from the finish. It carries a ten year warranty. We like it paired with other dark accessories rather than mixed with brights, and it is one of the pieces we point people towards when they want the wiring on a feature wall to disappear into the paint.
