At ENTWURFREICH®, we designed the Xuan Zhi switch range by ABB to redefine simplicity and sophistication.

We also received a Red Dot Design Award for this range.

What makes Xuan Zhi special:
1) Architectural Minimalism
↳ Reduced to a single surface, no frame needed.

2) Elegant Details
↳ The bended rocker adds a touch of sophistication.

3) Innovative Technology
↳ Revamped inside and out for durability and reliability.

Every detail combines geometric rigor with sensual shaping, making it a visual highlight on any background.
