Incorporating a modern interpretation of timeless elegance, PDL by Schneider Electric's latest collection of switches and power points epitomises a commitment to setting a new standard of excellence in the field. This innovative range seamlessly integrates beautiful minimalism with smart home technology, establishing itself as the luxurious forefront of electrical design.

Clipsal Solis — the new solution

Tim Turrini-Rochford, Schneider Electric’s VP Design Asia Pacific, says work on Solis was careful and considered as it had to meet a market need for a beautiful, functional product that could sit easily in high-end projects for specifiers, while satisfying the technical requirements of electricians and delighting residential homeowners. “Solis is pitched at a certain segment who will really want it,” says Tim. “It is for professionals with a certain type of client.”

World-class design

When assembling the design team for the new range, Tim says it was crucial to use designers who understood the Australian and New Zealand markets and their unique needs. He brought in internationally renowned designer Jim Hannon-Tan to lead the project. Jim’s extensive portfolio includes work for design names such as Tom Dixon, Marcel Wanders, Magis, Muji, Flos, and Alessi, among many others.

The Schneider Electric design and engineering teams worked closely together throughout the process, and sought feedback from interior designers, architects, electricians and residential homeowners. Tim says the final designs had an overwhelmingly positive reaction from those groups.

Solis’ playful asymmetry references the ‘golden rectangle’ and its pure geometric form. Its elongated rectangular plate connects to the geometry of the home and the organic circular button indicates the human element.

The beauty of Solis

Clipsal Solis is available in two ranges:

• Solis Series features a fine matte texture in either black or white — monochromatic simplicity at its finest.
• Solis T-Series elevates the design to a new level in brushed brass, anodised aluminium, and a world-leading white ceramic, which Tim says is game-changing.

Tim says they are excited to launch Clipsal Solis as they believe it is superior to what is currently on the market in terms of design, finishes and the electrical engineering underpinning the range.

The Clipsal Solis Collection encourages you to express your creative vision with two new premium ranges tailored for high-end residential projects. Each range delivers a distinctive touch and feel experience, create customisable lighting solutions and innovative home automation systems.

With a focus on ease of installation and trusted reliability, these ranges uphold the renowned quality associated with PDL by Schneider Electric.
