Design and engineering, from Dublin.
VON Design & Engineering is an Irish company creating electrical and architectural products that combine technical performance with contemporary design.
From the switch you touch every day to the chandelier above the table, each piece is designed to be precise, durable and beautiful in the room.
The details you touch every day.
VON began with a simple observation: the things people touch most in a home are often the ones given the least thought.
A light switch is pressed thousands of times a year, yet it is usually chosen last, from a catalogue of white plastic. The lights that set the mood of a room are too often an afterthought to the plaster, the paint and the joinery. And in the finest bathrooms, a plastic flush plate still interrupts the tiling.
VON Design & Engineering was set up in Dublin to change that. We design electrical and architectural products for homes, hotels and interiors where every detail matters, and we bring an engineer’s discipline to each one: the right materials, honest construction and a finish that lasts.
Today the VON name sits on three collections: switches and sockets, alabaster lighting and sanitary ware. Each began the same way, with a question about how something should look, feel and work in a well-made room.
Three principles behind every piece.
Material first
We start with what a piece is made of. Stainless steel and solid copper for switches, natural alabaster for light, the wall’s own tile for the flush plate. Materials that age well and feel right in the hand.
One language, whole house
Every switch, socket and outlet in a VON series shares the same slim plate and the same finish, so a kitchen, a hallway and a bedroom can speak one quiet language from wall to wall.
Engineered to fit
Design only works if it installs. Our plates fit standard UK and Irish back boxes, the flush plates work with the leading concealed cistern frames, and every product has a data sheet for the electrician, architect or fitter.
Small pieces of engineering, made to be touched.
Two series of switches, sockets, dimmers, data and media outlets and hotel controls, on slim stainless-steel plates with clip-on, screw-free fronts. The VON 1 Series comes in Brushed Gold, Matt Black and Antique Bronze; the VON 2 Series in a cool Brushed Grey.
Stone that holds light.
Chandeliers, linear pieces, pendants, ceiling and wall lights in natural alabaster, set in copper and brass. Light passes through the stone and brings out its veining, so no two pieces are ever quite the same.
A flush plate that disappears.
Our tileable dual-flush plates are finished with the same tile as the wall, so the flush almost vanishes into the surface. There is a universal model for the leading cistern frames and a model made for GROHE frames.
For homes, and the people who build them.
We work with homeowners, architects, interior designers, electricians and developers across Ireland and the UK.
VON products are sold online through our official stockist, MEP Stock. Trade customers and specifiers can request samples, the VON brochure, data sheets and a quotation for their project, and businesses that would like to sell VON can apply to become a distributor.
