TAL & LITHOSS: authenticity of the material

TAL focuses on architectural lighting, while Lithoss develops collections of design control elements for residential, hotel, and commercial projects. Their collaboration allows for the unification of technical equipment in terms of function, shape, and surface treatment. Elements that are often perceived only as necessary equipment thus become a natural part of the overall architectural concept.

THE BEST FROM THE OFFER

The Pixel series features small buttons set into a precisely crafted metal surface. It offers variants with one or more control elements and combinations with sockets or other functions.

In addition to standard, recessed, or floating installation, it also supports KNX, Casambi, QBUS, and DALI systems. The resulting character is defined by a wide range of surfaces from matte black to brushed brass or antique bronze.

Select is one of the most characteristic series of the Lithoss brand. Simple geometry, a metal front plate, and more pronounced buttons create a universal element for both modern and traditionally conceived interiors.

Switches can be combined with sockets, USB ports, and other modules, complemented with symbols or engraving, and tailored to the project using a wide selection of hand-finished metal and colored surfaces.

In the realm of luxury real estate, hospitality, and residential architecture, authenticity is not merely a question of style, but a fundamental principle of design. It reflects the shared vision of the TAL and Lithoss brands, based on material integrity, precise detail work, and spatial coherence.

Materials influence the perception of space, its atmosphere, and longevity. Authentic materials reveal nothing hidden: they naturally showcase their structure, weight, reflectivity, and manner of aging. Solid metal, modest surface treatments, and surfaces that react naturally to light and shadow form the basis of both brands' collections.

A UNIFIED ARCHITECTURAL WHOLE

In luxury residential, hotel, and development projects, the TAL and Lithoss brands enable the preservation of the cleanliness of the original concept. Matching surface finishes, shades, and textures ensure that technical elements support the spatial composition rather than disrupt it. Walls, ceilings, carpentry elements, stone, plaster, and textiles remain harmoniously complemented.

Lighting fixtures and switches can almost blend with the architecture, or conversely, become its subtle accent. In both cases, they contribute to visual calmness and spatial continuity.

CONTROL TECHNOLOGY

Lithoss offers several control methods, from classic button wiring to integration into smart building management systems. The choice of specific technology depends on the project's requirements, installation type, and the selected series of switches.

KNX KNX is an open standard for home and commercial building automation. It allows lighting control to be linked with other functions, such as shading, heating, or pre-set scenes. Lithoss switches can be integrated into KNX installations according to specific configurations and tailored to the project's needs.	CASAMBI Casambi is a wireless system primarily designed for lighting control. It allows for the control and adjustment of fixtures through an app, enabling the creation of light scenes or groups. When combined with Lithoss switches, it offers solutions for new installations and renovations where extensive wiring is not desirable.
PUSH BUTTON Push Button represents classic button control for standard electrical installations. When pressed, the button sends a pulse that controls the connected lighting circuit or other element of the installation. This is a simple and universal solution that can be supplemented with LED signaling and, depending on the configuration, also connected with other control systems.	DALI DALI is a digital protocol designed for lighting control. It allows fixtures to be turned on, dimmed, and grouped. Depending on the system used and fixture compatibility, it may also support additional functions such as setting color temperatures.

ARPI Floor Sockets for Modern Interiors and Exteriors

The Lithoss brand's portfolio is complemented by ARPI floor sockets, which bring electric and data connections directly into open spaces – for example, at the dining table, sofa, or terrace. The robust system, proven over more than thirty years of use, offers power sockets, RJ45 data connectors, USB, HDMI, and connections for audiovisual technology. Individual models vary in installation method and degree of protection:


ARPI IP66 is the most durable variant designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Its IP66 protection rating and IK10 mechanical resistance allow its use on terraces or in public and heavily used areas.

It is available in round and square designs, can be installed flush with the floor or slightly above it, and is complemented with a safety lid opened by an Allen key.



ARPI TAIL is an indoor solution with IP64 protection rating and IK10 resistance. It is suitable for various types of flooring, including concrete, wood, and tile, and allows for recessed and exposed installation.

The practical hinged lid remains firmly attached to the socket and cannot be lost during use.




ARPI IP64 represents a subtle variant for recessed installation into concrete floors indoors.

Here too, the manufacturer states IK10 mechanical resistance; a standard or safety lid is available. Covers are available in four designs – brushed or polished brass and brushed or polished stainless steel.

All three series combine round or square covers made from noble materials and emphasize discreet integration of the technical element into the architecture of the space.

TAL Fixtures: MATERIAL AND LIGHT

Material determines how we perceive light, how it spreads, and what it highlights. TAL fixtures are designed as architectural elements: the materials used enhance the quality of light without disturbing the visual purity of the space.

Lithoss switches and sockets, which we interact with daily, are designed as integral parts of architectural surfaces. Therefore, they require material purity, durability, and sensory sophistication.

HOTELS AND LUXURY LIVING

In an environment where atmosphere, comfort, and distinctive identity must coexist, authentic materials play a crucial role. Users perceive space through touch, light, and the physical presence of materials: switches feel solid, and fixtures provide precisely controlled yet expressive light.

In luxury residences, this approach creates a thoughtful, distinctive environment where technical elements enhance daily life without introducing visual noise into the interior.

LONG-TERM DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

Honest materials age gracefully – instead of deteriorating, they gradually gain character. This approach aligns with sustainability principles, where quality replaces excess and durability supersedes short-term trends. The result is long-term aesthetic, functional, and environmental value.


Instead of fleeting design trends, TAL and Lithoss offer a shared material culture based on restraint, craftsmanship, and architectural relevance. Their products are designed to support, not dominate, the interior and collectively create a coherent and reliable set of elements for demanding projects.

---

Material authenticity is primarily a matter of trust: in materials that can speak for themselves, in designs that will withstand the test of time, and in the seamless dialogue between light, controls, and space. In the interpretation of the TAL and Lithoss brands, authentic materials become a discreet yet impressive part of architecture – providing luxury interiors with purity, depth, and unmistakable integrity.
