Dimwit is hardware, done
differently. Refined forms,
considered finishes, a spirited
point of view — where art
and utility meet. Made to
be part of the design story,
and to make the smallest
moments feel good. Time
to play with the lights.
The details should feel good.
We spend hours choosing the right light, the perfect fixture, the ideal bulb temperature. We carefully considering how it all will shape a space. And yet, the hardware we use to turn it on, something we touch more times a day than we can count, is almost always an afterthought. We thought it deserved more.
During my own home renovation, I fell for hardware. The first thing I bought was a bright blue hot-water faucet. This detail ignited a desire to make thoughtful decisions around everything we touch —but when it came to electrical hardware, I was disappointed with the limited options. I longed for something deliberate and artful. I wanted a choice. The feeling stuck with me long enough that I did something about it. — J
We set out to make electrical hardware built for North American homes — and ended up designing something genuinely new: a system you can change your mind about. Once it's installed, plates and knobs swap in seconds — no tools, no electrician, no rewiring. Change a color, change the mood, change with the season. The opposite of planned obsolescence.
The install itself is refreshingly ordinary. Our patent-pending Magwit System uses power modules sized to fit most existing junction boxes, with a magnetic face so the plate and knob lift off and click back in an instant. Considered enough for the rooms you've worked hard to build — simple enough that the install goes clean.
Anagrams is the first from Dimwit: solid brass dimmers and switches, ceramic-coated and hand-finished, wearing interchangeable acrylic knobs.
Six colorways, three knob forms — mixed, matched, and recombined however a room asks for. One dimmer, a wardrobe of looks, and a $44 knob whenever you want to change your mind. For rooms that already have taste, and details worth specifying.
Hardware is meant to be touched. Order a kit to feel the weight, see the colorways in your own light, and find the combination that fits the room.
Play with the lights.
