Designed to be perfect

Living Now features a floating frame at the back of the cover plate that can move freely on its four corners, ensuring optimal installation. Thanks to its floating frame, Living Now looks as if it is suspended on the wall. The floating frame gives the possibility of:

  • hiding wall defects;
  • hiding any irregularity in flush mounted boxes their positioning;
  • hiding the external collars of plasterboard boxes.

The evolution of Living Now

Metallic finishes, monochromatism, customisation and InWall installation.

MONOCRHOMATISM

New metallic finishes enrich Living Now monochrome offering

Living Now expands its range with three new metallic effect finishes: Champagne, Bronze and Steel. Premium finishes to enhance the value of every project, designed to suit different styles.

Champagne offers a warm glow, Bronze conveys an aged charm, while Steel introduces contemporary reflections suited to more modern environments.

It will be possible to offer end customers higher-value solutions, suitable for contemporary environments and high-end projects.

The new metallic finishes Steel, Champagne and Bronze, enrich the monochrome offering of Living Now.

MONOCRHOMATISM

How to get the perfect monochromatism

Perfect monochromatism is achieved by matching cover plates and covers in the same finishes. The keys, or covers, are treated with a finely satin finish which looks opaque and is pleasantly silky to the touch.

The colour choice becomes a design tool: aesthetic continuity between cover plate and covers ensures a perfectly integrated electrical system in any environment and architectural style.

Living Now extend its classic monochrome offer (White, Sand, and Black finishes) with the new metallic finishes (Steel, Champagne and Bronze).

Technopolymers

Technopolymer plates are made by overlapping material layers, which give the finish a beautiful depth effect.

Zamak

BTicino has always used the Zamak alloy for its metal plates, as it is both durable and suitable for sophisticated aesthetic renditions.

Wood

For those seeking a more natural effect, Living Now offers two finishes in Oak and Walnut.

Cover finishes

The devices (controls, dimmers, sockets, etc.) feature an aesthetic component - the covers - available in six finishes. Since they are separate from the functional part, the covers can be easily replaced with a simple movement. Alongside the classic shades of white, sand and black, new metallic finishes - Steel, Champagne and Bronze - are also available. The surface features a satin finish.

  • The classic finishes are available in white, sand and black colour, with standard backlight lens.
  • The metallic effect features the same metallic finish as the new cover plates and a more discreet backlight lens than the classic versions.
CONFIGURATION TOOLS

Customisation of a wiring device assembly

With Living Now metallic finishes (Champagne, Bronze and Steel) it is possible to create tailor-made electrical systems, with customised devices designed to meet the customer’s specific requirements.
