Designed for architects to minimize design clutter.

No matter the function of the unit inside, each product looks the same on the outside because it is comprised between a base and a cover.

The covers are designed to be as visually non-obstructive as possible. Available in any RAL color, various materials, and finishes, you can arrange your need in a neat configuration and watch them blend and disappear into your interior.

Sustainable design from the ground up.

All components are made from recycled materials. From the aluminum covers up to the plastics of each unit.

Its simple, single-material designs enable us to efficiently repair, re-use, or recycle each part.

All our products are designed in Amsterdam and made in the EU, keeping global transport waste minimum.

Save time, money, and lives.

Need’s design excels in simplicity. They are created with the architect and electrician in mind. Its smart details, like easy cage clamp wire connectors, and a base with crosshairs and self-centering cone shape, offer quick, easy, and perfect installation every time.

Thanks to the bayonet mount of both base and cap maintenance and replacement are tool-less.

Once installed the cover works as a large push-button to control the unit while the LED ring in the top indicates its status.
