Steeling the Show: Switches from Buster + Punch

Known for its bold, industrial-inspired aesthetic and obsessive attention to detail, this British design house brings drama and depth to an object as simple as a light switch.

Forget everything you know about conventional hardware. Buster + Punch switches are built around a modular system that blends engineering precision with expressive design. Every detail — from the knurled toggle to the solid metal plates — is carefully considered, tactile and purposeful. These aren’t components to be added at the last minute. Their technical structure requires advance planning and early inclusion in project budgets, particularly for custom configurations or integrated lighting systems.

The range includes rocker switches, dimmers, toggles, USB sockets and more — in finishes like smoked bronze, brass, black, white, steel and the recently introduced gun metal. Options include LED indicators and interchangeable faceplates, with vertical and horizontal orientations to suit a variety of layouts. Whether installed flush or surface-mounted, with or without backplates, the result always feels distinctive and refined.

If the design seems cinematic, that’s because it is. Buster + Punch switches are featured in “Severance”, the Emmy-nominated Apple TV+ series that has become a design-world cult favourite. Its visual language — a blend of retro futurism, brutalist minimalism and high-concept storytelling — is as compelling as its plot. In such a tightly composed world, every object matters. The inclusion of Buster + Punch is not just a stylistic choice; it’s a narrative device — a symbol of controlled environments and hidden tensions.

At Dantone Home, we showcase a curated selection of Buster + Punch switches and accessories in our Umm Suqeim showroom. Here, you can experience the finishes, weights and tactile sensations for yourself — and explore how these pieces can be incorporated into your own interiors. Our team is ready to assist with project planning, from technical details to custom orders and pre-orders from the full Buster + Punch catalogue.
