Plastic – versatile and robust

From Vitra’s Panton Chair and Kartell’s FL/Y pendant luminaire to Gira E2 switches: plastic designs have been popular among interior enthusiasts for decades.

Plastic, as we know it today, first came to the forefront in the 1930s. Since then, it has revolutionised the industrial world: polyethylene serves as the basis for sterile packaging of medical products, the construction of energy-efficient buildings, and countless other commodities. Its highly flexible and resilient properties make plastic an ideal choice for Gira switches.

Plastic is lightweight, elastic, shatter-proof, temperature-resistant, and available in varying degrees of hardness. The material can be used to manufacture virtually any product – including Gira switches.

From Gira E2 in classic rectangular shape to Gira Studio with its round accents: thermoplastic forms the basis for many distinguished Gira switches. The material is both adaptable and durable, resulting in products that literally last a lifetime.

Edgy or round, light or dark, subtle or bold: in the world of Gira products, plastic inspires innovative creations. Dynamic and yet timeless. In colour variants such as grey matt, black matt, anthracite and pure white, Gira switches either turn into soft accents or eye-catching contrasts on your wall. Designs made from plastic thus complement any interior style: traditional, modern, luxurious or minimalistic.
