Had to replace a lamp, but the same was no longer available. Great advice, found a suitable replacement and delivered it quickly.


Programme Overview: What System Design Covers

System Design covers all switching functions required in high-quality interior fit-outs:

  • Switches – single-pole, two-way, and intermediate switches with a flush-mounted finish
  • Push-buttons – self-resetting, for doorbells, pulse relays, and staircase lighting
  • Dimmers – stepless brightness control for LED and conventional luminaires
  • Socket outlets – earthed contact, optionally with child protection or USB outlet
  • Data technology – network and media inserts in the same frame format

All components share the same frame dimensions and can be combined in single to four-gang combination frames. This allows a consistent installation aesthetic across all rooms and functions throughout a building.


Design and Materials

The programme is built around a flush-mounted aesthetic: cover plates sit level with the frame with no visible steps or gaps. Available in polar white, anthracite, and further colour options including a stainless steel effect for representative areas.

The material quality and finish reflect the demands of commercial fit-outs. System Design is regularly specified in hotels, office buildings, and high-end residential projects where a consistent appearance across many installation points is required.

Planning note: Merten System Design has its own frame dimensions and is not compatible with other Merten ranges such as M-Smart or M-Plan. For projects covering multiple installation areas, it is advisable to standardise on a single programme from the outset.

Where System Design Sits in the Merten Range

System Design is the design-focused flagship programme within the Merten range. For functional standard installations without specific design requirements, the M-Smart and M-Plan series are available. A full overview of all switch configurations and programmes can be found in the switches category.
