Focus SB is shortlisted for an SBID International Design Award 2021
The SBID International Design Awards finalists for 2021 have been revealed, boasting an impressive shortlist of award-worthy entries across Interior Design, Product Design and Fit-Out. Focus SB is pleased to announce that it is among the impressive global design talent to have become a finalist in this year’s SBID International Design Awards for its entry, Latching Push Button Switch in the Lighting category.
Focus SB’s latching push button switch is the only one of its kind on the market that can be used to replace any conventional light switch (toggle or rocker) up to the rating of 6AX. The functionality options available in Focus SB's push button switch (‘bell push’) style include conventional on/off light switch (latching), retractive (for use with third party home automation controls / inline dimming), or use as a doorbell.
Considered one of the most prestigious accolades in the interior design industry, success in the GOLD-standard Awards programme demonstrates the highest level of design excellence across the commercial and residential sectors. From the design scheme, materials used and products specified through to the final fit-out installation, the SBID Awards champion design standards across the supply chain in the design, procurement and execution of outstanding interiors.
Each finalist has been evaluated by industry-leading experts for functionality, technical merit, creative delivery and ability to inspire; highlighting the value that expert interior design and specialist craftsmanship can bring to businesses, homes and society as a whole.
Gary Stevens, Focus SB's managing director says: "It's fantastic to see Focus SB shortlisted as a lighting finalist in the SBID's product design awards for the second year running! To be recognised for our achievements pitching us alongside some of the best global design talent means a lot. We are a relatively small specialist manufacturing operation and these prestigious awards are an opportunity for us to shine a spotlight on our people, recognising not only their unique skills and dedication, but also to thank them for their amazing resilience in what's been a challenging time for many. We look forward to announcing more product launches in autumn 2021!”
