Beautiful, Alternative-Material Sockets, Switches and Junction Boxes from Estonia

...made from porcelain, Bakelite and Duroplast

By Rain Noe - December 7, 2020

Juheko is an Estonian company that manufactures textile-covered cables, lighting accessories, LED bulbs, sockets, junction boxes and switches. The section of their website for the latter objects caught our eye; their assortment of switches and junction boxes look wonderfully tactile, and are made with old-school materials like porcelain, Duroplast and Bakelite. Here are some examples of what's on offer:

I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.
