MATA – Studio STRAF x Sumum

Studio STRAF has a clear vision that has led to the unique design of MATA, in collaboration with Sumum. Studio STRAF’ s vision goes beyond mere architecture and focuses on creating holistic and sustainable experiences. The studio believes that architecture is a powerful tool to improve the interaction between people and their environment.

The MATA switches are characterised by their refined geometry, following the sacred proportions, and sophisticated use of brass paired with chosen finishing materials. The "bullet" push buttons are geometrically pared-down, reflecting Studio STRAF's dedication to understated elegance, serenity and natural warmth. SUMUM’s expertise and knowledge is noted in the subtle presence of natural brass material and versatile brass finishes and integration options suitable for both classic setups and advanced home automation systems. The product uniquely combines aesthetics and functionality, making it a distinctive choice for modern habitats.

In recognition of its exceptional quality and innovation, the 'MATA' design switch was honored with the prestigious Red Dot Product Design 2024 Award, highlighting its standout design in a competitive global market. "The MATA switches inspire with their purist and exceptional appearance, and thus bring atmosphere to any room." — statement by the Red Dot International Jury.
