Kelly Hoppen MBE collaborates with Focus SB on a debut collection of designer electrical wiring accessories for the UK and China luxury hospitality and residential markets.
This exciting collaboration which saw formal contracts between leading British electrical accessories manufacturer Focus SB and multi-award winning designer Kelly Hoppen.
The idea for the proposed collaboration came about as a result of a team brainstorming session between Focus SB’s managing director, Gary Stevens, and the company’s highly experienced new product development team. Stevens suggested that the thinking should be stripped back to basics, and instead of coming up with a plate finish in line with what the team thought everyone else might be doing, should focus on the company’s target market and take the lead from design trend influencers dictating the future of modern interiors.
Kelly Hoppen MBE comments: “Interior fittings such as light switches and plug sockets are often not considered until the end of a project, but these details can add an extra touch and shouldn’t be overlooked. The world of electrical wiring accessories is generally very conservative, but I wanted to create something that would very much be part of the overall design, introducing jewellery-like details and alternative finishes. This collaboration with Focus SB introduces a new aesthetic to electrical fittings in a way we haven’t previously seen.”
