Switches and GPOs don’t have to be so bland

05 August, 2010 by Giuseppe Parola*

When I asked him why, he simply said: “Because they’re ugly.” I suspect such an attitude is not uncommon amongst many architects, and even some home owners, given the universal use of basic white switch plates and GPOs in this country.
