Studio 5.5 Reimagines Sockets and Switches as Modular Design Elements

Studio 5.5 has developed 'Volt Face,' a collection that repurposes Schneider Electric's Odace sockets and switches into modular components for lighting and furniture.

The Volt Face collection, designed by Vincent Baranger and Anthony Lebossé, transforms familiar electrical components into central design elements for items like wall lights, tables, and lamps. The project emphasizes the tactile qualities and the characteristic 'click' of switches as part of the user experience.

Instead of being afterthoughts in interior design, these components are treated as starting points. The collection explores the potential of the Odace range as a modular design vocabulary, allowing designers to combine and arrange elements as building blocks for new objects and configurations.
