Focus SB has been shortlisted for an SBID International Design Award 2026
We are pleased to be among the inspiring global design talent to have been shortlisted as a finalist in this year’s SBID International Design Awards for our entry, 'Elegant Control for Intelligent Homes' in the Technology & Equipment category.
Steve Moss, our Sales and Marketing Manager, says: “We’re thrilled that our dry contact retractive switches are shortlisted in the SBID awards. This is fantastic news for all of us and we’re delighted that the skill involved in designing and making these quality products has been recognised by the SBID judging panel. Our elegant, modern keypads are a testament to the team’s dedication and hard work in response to invaluable client feedback.”
Evaluated by a panel of distinguished, industry-leading experts for functionality, innovation, creativity and technical execution, an SBID Award is considered one of the most coveted accolades for design excellence. Success in the GOLD-rated Awards programme demonstrates the highest level of design skill and professional mastery across the interior design profession.
Our dry contact retractive switches are designed to provide a refined, tactile interface for the most advanced smart home environments.
Designed and manufactured in-house by us in the UK, our dry contact retractive switches do not directly power a circuit, unlike traditional switches. Instead, the switches send a signal to a home’s control system, allowing each press to be intelligently interpreted and seamlessly executed. When paired with leading home automation systems such as Lutron, Control4, Crestron or KNX, Focus SB dry contact retractive switches become part of a fully integrated experience.
