The Art of Collaboration: Sumum x Britt Van Namen
Britt Van Namen: Thoughtful Spaces, Timeless Atmosphere
Interior designer Britt Van Namen is celebrated for her ability to bring spaces to life through a harmonious balance of light, space, and warmth. Her work is more than composition, it is the artful curation of contrasts: modern yet timeless, minimalist yet inviting. With a refined use of clean lines, natural materials, Van Namen transforms interiors into peaceful sanctuaries, each infused with an effortless elegance born from thoughtful detail.
Sophistication in the Smallest Details
Central to her philosophy is the belief that true sophistication resides in the smallest gestures. Nowhere is this more evident than in her integration of the Sumum Square CORE switch in Barolo Bronze. Far from being a mere utility, this meticulously crafted switch becomes a tactile and visual highlight. Its deep bronze finish is the embodiment of refinement, offering a subtle sheen that catches the light with each passing hour. The Square CORE’s geometric precision and minimalist profile allow it to sit flush against the wall, maintaining visual clarity and a sense of seamlessness so vital to Van Namen’s signature calm. Its understated elegance complements organic textures—exposed wooden beams, linen, and stone—serving as both a unifying element and a quiet accent within each room.
The Sumum Square CORE Switch as a Signature Element
The Square CORE switch stands out not only for its aesthetic appeal but for its carefully considered functionality. Each interaction is an experience—its sturdy, weighted mechanism responds with reassuring precision, reflecting a commitment to craftsmanship that matches Van Namen’s own. The tactile sensation is both satisfying and refined, elevating even the simplest gesture into a moment of artistry.
“The finish of the Sumum switch material is the finishing touch that lets the project speak. The greatest elegance is found in the smallest details. By collaborating with Sumum, I found the perfect balance between functionality and refinement.”
