Socket-Concealing Light Switches

The L1 Switch System by Maurice Mischo is Minimalist

The L1 Switch System has been designed by Maurice Mischo as a light switch that highlights a dual-purpose functionality as well as a discreet aesthetic. The switch would function effectively as a way to toggle a light on or off, while the touchpad would allow for dimming. The entire unit is capable of popping out of the wall to reveal two AC outlets inside as a way to combine essential electrical components into one unified system.

The L1 Switch System provides controls for up to three light sources and could be customized via an app to change gesture interpretation. The fixture would fit in well with existing decor and put a stronger focus on minimalism in the modern home, which is continuing to gain popularity amongst consumers.
