Vimar of Italy now offers its Arke series of buttons and controls in the British Standard (BS)-compliant version. It has also expanded the choices with the addition of a metal colour.

Arke is designed to accommodate the latest trends in interior design, towards natural materials, attenuated contrasts and warm, pastel hues, but which also meet the needs of the Arab world and its penchant for dark shades and warm hues, says the company.

The buttons and controls are available in white, anthracite grey or in the brand new Metal colour, which with its strong and innovative personality, was designed to accommodate contemporary stylistic needs, particularly to interpret and enhance the style of architectural spaces featuring warm, natural hues.

Available in five materials, Arke cover plates can satisfy virtually any need, and to enhance the individuality of the building even further, they can be customised with the client’s own logos and symbols, while the buttons and controls can be customised according to the chosen function.

In addition to attractive styling, Arké is also about technology. Its devices have been developed to make room management simple and user-friendly. Spaces can be monitored either centrally, from elegant touch screens, or locally, using individual controls. Moreover, remote control is also available, via the Internet or from a smartphone or tablet to manage everything, wherever one may be.
