Light as a Design Statement
Lutron’s Alisse Keypads and S-Curve Shades are elevating Middle Eastern interiors with seamless control and sculptural beauty
In the Middle East, where design speaks the language of luxury and innovation, Lutron’s Alisse keypads and S-Curve automated shades have become signature elements for discerning architects and interior designers that enjoy merging refined aesthetics with advanced control. Designed to be both tactile and timeless, the Alisse keypad offers custom engraving, elegant metal finishes and subtle illumination – making it as much a design object as a control interface. Complementing this is the S-Curve shading solution, crafted to follow the natural contours of curved architecture, enabling smooth, quiet movement that aligns with even the most unique window geometries.
“Designers today are not just creating homes – they’re curating experiences,” says Omar Tabbara, Residential Head, Lutron Middle East. “With the Alisse keypad and S-Curve shades, we offer tools that support that vision – seamlessly integrating beauty, function and emotion into each space. We are proud to be part of the creative journeys led by this incredible design community.”
Lutron’s ecosystem, led by its HomeWorks system, allows effortless coordination of lighting, shading and scene-setting across every room and every moment. It creates harmony between architecture and lifestyle, offering unmatched reliability, precision and personalisation.
As light continues to define the mood and movement of modern homes, Lutron invites the design world to see lighting and shading not just as systems – but as statements of sophistication.
