designed to be intuitive

TOIS are focused on touch and feel, paired with the quality and esthetics of true materiality.


Different shapes are easy to differentiate and provide a simple yet effective user-feedback.


Smart switch controls often combine display and touch-operations in one.

Digital interfaces are challenging for people unfamiliar with these systems.

TOIS happily include people with all abilites to both, digital and analogue operations alike.

Sensoric impressions were key elements during the design process.

With the TOIS Y-switch, interface operation is separated from visual presentation.

A physical knob smoothens the user experience and the information board on eye level raises comfort.

The X-shape clearly tells
on from off – visually and haptically. 


It is operated by rotation,
easy to grip for everyone.

The O-shaped push-button plus rotational dim offers an analogue interface by the help of a cut-out.


Users instantly understand the state due to the clear visual or the distinct hand-feel.



To read the digital interface in smart home operation, a shadow-masked information board cooperates with the Y-switch.
As it can be compared to low-res-technology, it does not outdate and gently stays back in contrast to technical environments.


It is very subtle and won't
conflict with interiors.

well, it is still a concept, but you might help to bring it to market.
