VITRUM Vitrum is a family of patented design products designed to control every function in the home. Each product in the Vitrum range is sculpted in glass and light. It is the result of a revolutionary design concept that focuses on simplicity of use and attractive styling, one that offers complete freedom in terms of colour coordination as well as the pure pleasure of touching a material as precious as glass. With Vitrum, light switches, thermostats, curtain and blind controls - and all the other domestic electrical controllers become eye-catching designer items whose beauty will continue to be admired with every passing day. And further, these can be customised in an infinity of colours and textures to suit all interior aesthetics. Vitrum is compatible with the existing cabling, requires no special supplementary components or additional wiring, and can be installed by any qualified electrician. Made in Italy, Vitrum represents a revolution in switch design, where simplicity of installation and use, together with total respect for the environment, are at the heart of the entire concept. With its hi-tech wireless heart, Vitrum heralds a new era in intelligent home automation systems. Vitrum is the solution to complexity. THINK SIMPLE Not just an empty phrase: Think Simple is the mission, the design philosophy of a twenty-first century company. Think Simple is the answer to our increasing need for simplicity in contemporary living, where we find ourselves surrounded by a world of evergreater complexity. Think Simple develops and markets products of the highest quality, designed to simplify and enhance the way in which we interact with the world that surrounds us and to make our homes more attractive and personal. In 2010, Think Simple is proud to present its “Lighting� collection, a family of products in which the unique craftsmanship of Venetian glassmakers comes together with the latest wireless technology to create an innovative range of products that will re-define our traditional concept of switches and controls in the home. Think Simple is revolution. 7

STARTING AFRESH

The design of Vitrum – with its extremely elegant and elemental lines – plays a determining rôle not only in defining the aesthetic appearance of the product but also in making the technology that is artfully hidden inside it simple and intuitive to use. Marco Piva 11

SIMPLICITY

The circle is an ancient, perfect and timeless form. And it is in this form that Vitrum presents the solid-state construction and refined styling of a product designed to bring control of light in the home into line with our contemporary lifestyle. 17


18


CONTROL

Each product in the Vitrum range creates an interaction of three different senses. The sculpted and contoured glass parts of the control section are easily navigated simply by touch. Multi-coloured backlighting makes Vitrum pleasing to the eye making it easy to locate in the dark. Vitrum even has a voice of its own: an acoustic response makes it even easier to use and configure. 19

TOUCH

The skilfully-crafted sculpted detailing of the glass surface makes it easy to identify the active switch area – an ergonomically perfect design that makes the Vitrum Touch Control technology immensely intuitive and pleasing. 21

VITRUM RESPECTS THE ENVIRONMENT The fruit of more than three years of research, Vitrum is a synthesis of modern technology and Italian design with a focus on environmental sustainability. EcoVitrum is Think Simple’s solution to the problem of energy savings. At the first fingertip touch, the light switches on at 65% power; only when a second touch is applied does the lighting power increase to 100% (Vitrum One Touch). In this way, the user can make a responsible 22

decision in selecting the optimum lighting level. When the light is switched on in energy-saving mode, the switch lighting is green. In addition, the iPod®-like control function (Vitrum Dimming Touch) can be used to set the lighting level to suit the user’s personal preference. Vitrum is designed to allow for easy and instant removal of the finishing panel from the electronic subassembly, which is a snap-fit into the wall-mounting box.

SIMPLICITY OF INSTALLATION

VITRUM COMES APART Vitrum comprises just two elements: a glass masking plate and an electronic sub-assembly. It is the latter that forms the technological heart of Vitrum, with wireless technology that transforms an age-old gesture into a new experience which is more in line with the needs of the user and is environmentally considerate.

The wall-mounting system is simple and quick: the electronic sub-assembly is secured to the wall mounting box using two screws (supplied). The glass finishing plate is then snap-fitted onto the electronic sub-assembly, and adapts to any unevenness of the wall without affecting the operation of the touch controls. 63

VITRUM LIGHT CONTROL The various Vitrum elements communicate between themselves wirelessly, so there is no need for an ‘internal bus’ to link them. The Home Master remote handset performs two functions. Configuration Having installed the Vitrum system, in just a few seconds you can create all the switch-on configurations for all light settings by defining the number of lights to be controlled by each glass touch-switch. In traditional systems, this would have necessitated the use of hard-wired mains wiring. Using Vitrum, the procedure is totally flexible, and the end-user can opt for the preferred switch-on configuration independently of the electrical connections laid out by the installing electrician. Configuration of the switch-on logic does not require the intervention of a specialist electrician. Operation When installation is complete, the remote handset can be used to select from up to four lighting scenarios, switch any four lights on and off, dim the scenarios and lights, and even use the “master off” function to switch all the lights off. 64

With such devices, you can simply select and enter advanced functions and commands such as lighting scenarios or hourly/weekly programmes for heating and air-conditioning, or perform a real-time check of your home’s energy consumption, and much more beside. To do this, all you need do is install the Home Master Router in the home and then download the Home Master Applications for iPhone® and iPad® from App Store®. 67
