With quality materials and craftsmanship, Lutron’s wall control offerings—including dimmers, switches, fan controls and wireless remotes—provide ease of use without compromising aesthetics. Each is customizable, from the style statements of the midcentury modern Alisse and the architectural Palladiom to the highly versatile, battery-operated Pico and the pleasingly hands-on Aviena. Choose from premium finish options in metal, graphite or glass to accentuate any space, and personalize names for settings specific to your project. Lutron’s wall controls allow for effortless preset scene management throughout the day and are complemented by an integrated and adjustable system.
To mark the debut of the Aviena toggle keypad, Cecilia Ramos, senior director of architectural markets at Lutron, spoke with Business of Home about the origins, engineering and elegance of the exciting new product.
What was the starting point for this collection?
Lutron product designers and lighting experts sought to create a collection that reflects refined craftsmanship while delivering the intuitive functionality and seamless integration that the brand is known for. The all-new Aviena toggle keypad was born from a desire to accentuate the timeless elegance of heritage design, expanding Lutron’s innovative control solutions.
What’s the inspiration behind the new product?
The Aviena toggle keypad draws from classic architectural details and high-end interior design cues, pairing the tactile satisfaction of a weighted mechanical toggle with a modern, curvilinear form. Crafted from hand-finished solid brass, the keypad reflects a reverence for historical design while fitting seamlessly into contemporary luxury aesthetics.
How does the collection build on or complement your other offerings?
Lutron’s powerful controls work together with the brand’s transformational lighting and world-class shade offerings for custom management of natural and electric light. Aviena enhances this system by offering an elevated tactile control experience that’s fully compatible with the HomeWorks system and also complements existing premium products—like the Alisse keypad—through coordinated signature metal finishes. Small but important details such as the diameter of the circular opening for the toggle or the filleted radius of the plate nod to Lutron’s heritage and the shared design language across our keypads.
How do you envision designers using this collection?
Lutron dimmers, keypads and switches are crafted with authentic materials that bear the marks of artisanship and are engineered to be powerfully simple to use. Designers can use a Lutron control to increase the functionality of a room and expand their design choices. Whether as a statement piece or subtle accent, Lutron controls provide both aesthetic cohesion and an elevated user experience in high-end residential and hospitality spaces.
Can the collection be customized? What kind of options are possible?
With a variety of finish options—from modern and sleek to traditional and elegant—Lutron’s expansive lighting controls portfolio complements any design style and space. Keypads are available in seven of Lutron’s signature metal finishes and can support configurations of up to four toggle switches. Designers can also personalize keypads with single-line text or iconography in low- or high-contrast engravings to suit the specific needs of their projects.
What about the collection feels fresh and exciting?
Lutron’s new Aviena toggle keypad brings a fresh perspective to luxury controls by merging tactile elegance with cutting-edge functionality. The introduction of a weighted mechanical toggle crafted in solid brass is a unique and sophisticated alternative in a market dominated by flat interfaces. Receptive to touch to provide a smooth dimming interface or on/off functionality, it’s a distinctive, design-forward addition to Lutron’s portfolio—one that celebrates craftsmanship while elevating modern smart home experiences. Overall, Lutron’s controls blend authentic materials with advanced technology, offering homeowners beauty and simplicity without compromising function.
