Dowsing & Reynolds Archetech - Page 22 We are an online, design-led lighting and hardware company specialising in products that you won’t find on the high street. From beautiful and bespoke lighting products, such as vintage light bulbs, fabric lighting cable, ceiling lights to designer light switches, dimmers and plug sockets. In late 2015 we launched a range of hardware products that included toggle switches, dimmers and plug sockets. James Dowsing-Reynolds, founder and Director of Dowsing & Reynolds, first set about designing the range after moving house and was unable to find any that he loved for his new home. He struggled to source any switches or sockets that were not only well designed, different from the usual sea of white plastic, but also affordable too. Affordability is often key, especially if you’re doing the whole interior, not just a socket or two. The black and white ranges always sell very well, but more recently we have noted that our tarnished copper switches and sockets have increased in their popularity due to their industrial style and raw finish; which is basically what our brand is all about. We recently exhibited at 100% Design at Olympia, London. Our stand featured the switches and sockets and they proved a big hit with both architects and interior designers, noting they were of fantastic quality, great price, and something they hadn’t seen before. All key factors when sourcing the best products for interior projects. Due to the popularity of the range and customer feedback, we’ve recently added new products to the collection including triple toggle and dimmer switches, fused spurs and cooker switches. We are now developing new designs and products to extend the range even further, and they will be available early next year.
