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.
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.
