architecture-design · 2026-04-24

Simon has launched Simon 360, a collection that revives the spirit of its historic Simon 36 series (conceived in 1965, launched in 1971) while adapting it to contemporary demands. The series features a large-format push-button, matte finishes in white, sand, and black, and uses urea as the main material for durability. Technical innovations include the CLEAN socket base that hides when not in use and a multiple aligner for precise installation. Simon 360 integrates with the S75 platform for easy retrofitting and with LOLA, Simon's digital ecosystem, allowing control of lighting, climate, blinds, and energy consumption via switches, an app, voice assistants, a touchscreen, and a compact HUB that requires no home network. The collection holds Cradle to Cradle Gold certification for product circularity. Simon 360 positions itself as a reference in design applied to the contemporary habitat, merging memory, innovation, and environmental responsibility.
