Crafted from solid brass, our Switch emergency release is inspired by Switch House, an extension to the world-famous Tate Modern museum in Bankside which is designed by architects Herzog & De Meuron.
Ever since its inception, we have admired this incredible structure and its extraordinary latticed brickwork, which proudly pierce the London skyline. We have carefully reflected the distinct, folded, angular lines of the building in the design of the Switch release and even in the rose.
Please note, this product is made to order and quantity discounts are available.
If you're wondering which finish type to select, here's the key difference: living finishes gently patinate and change over time, ageing gracefully, whilst ageless finishes are either naturally unchanging, or boast a protective ceramic coating which mean the finish stays consistent.
