Keeping home automation simple, yet refined with Basalte

The meticulously crafted products – made by hand and finished in Basalte’s headquarters in Belgium – blend seamlessly into environments with different material accents, be they wood, leather, bronze or stone. Indeed, having that choice can be truly game-changing, as Joel Reis of Life Emotions discovered when building an automation system for the sensitive restoration of a palatial townhouse in Portugal’s Foz do Arelho last year. ‘The finishes of Basalte played a fundamental role in harmonising the modern aspect with the art deco design language of the building,’ he says.
