This switch attracts attention by actually not attracting it at all. The berker switches from the Generation R series by Hager have welcomed a new addition to their family for their five-year anniversary since their market launch: the exceptionally thin R.8 switch, with a thickness of just 3 mm, now ranks among the thinnest switches available. Its minimalist profile will be appreciated not only by architects and interior designers but also by all lovers of unique details in interior design. Thanks to its minimal thickness and precise craftsmanship, the switch gives the impression of almost "disappearing" beneath the plaster. Due to its unique appearance, the berker R.8 switches are proud recipients of awards such as the German Design Award, Good Design Award, iF Award, and Red Dot Award.
Exclusive materials
The premium appearance is matched by the composition of the frame materials: aluminum, stainless steel, high-quality plastic, and glass. White glass: The ultra-thin switch made from scratch-resistant white glass almost blends in with walls painted white. Want an almost invisible switch...? Black glass: The black switch made from durable toughened glass, on the other hand, draws attention in almost any interior. Embodied elegance! Anodized natural aluminum: The silver surface of the berker R.8 switch made from anodized aluminum is practically indestructible and resistant to fingerprints. It beautifully interacts with light in the room. Matt stainless steel: A pleasant and subtly elegant surface, resistant to mechanical damage as well as fingerprints. A timeless classic. Glossy black plastic: The highly durable plastic, used in the automotive industry, rivals metal materials in elegance. Perhaps it's just right for your interior! Glossy white plastic: Forget about low-quality cheap plastics! This durable high-gloss quality plastic gives even this basic version of the berker R.8 switch an ultra-modern look.
Perfect family harmony: berker R.8 and berker R.3
The appearance of the berker R.8 switches is based on the design of their older "siblings," the switches from the berker R.3 series. More precisely, it retains the same lines, only it drops lower… from a 7 mm base to a base of just 3 mm thickness. This makes the R.8 switches almost immerse themselves into the plaster. The shape of the R.8 switches bets – just like all series of Generation R – on the power of contrast. With its rebellious look – a rounded central part set in a square frame – the R.8 design perfectly communicates with its older siblings: switches from the berker R.1, R.3, and R.classic series. Don’t be afraid to combine different series in one interior, for example, R.8 in living rooms and hallways, R.3 in private rooms. The outcome will be worth it! The frames of the berker R.8 design series are also available as double, triple, and quadruple frames, for both horizontal and vertical mounting.
Most modern home devices
If there's anything that sets the berker R.8 apart from other berker switch series, it's the entire range of devices that are available in this design. From data sockets, dimmers, bathroom radios to USB and HDMI sockets, express any wish and berker R.8 will fulfill it.
