FORTE&PIANO electrical installation products — innovations beyond the frame!
4_015_016.jpg

The world is rapidly changing. Every year, the number of gadgets and household electrical appliances increases – which means more and more sockets and switches are needed. For a long time, the solution for their compact placement was multi-gang frames – for three, four, five gangs...

What if frames are no longer needed? This has become possible with the innovative line of wiring accessories from IEK – FORTE&PIANO.

Revolutionary design

The FORTE&PIANO concept is simple and brilliant: don't limit yourself by the number of gangs in frames: assemble rows of wiring accessories of any length!

The line's design was developed by one of Russia's leading design agencies – Architime Design. Specialists conducted industry research, identified market needs, and got to work.

The result was the country's first frameless wiring accessories line. The mechanisms easily connect to each other, like constructor parts, and end caps are installed at the edges of the row. If necessary, new gangs can easily be added to such a chain. Several patents have been obtained for the unique mechanisms.

Design as art

Laconicism and functionality are the basis of the design of all products in the FORTE&PIANO line. Harmonious shape, strict lines and perfect combination of mechanisms with each other turn a simple row of wiring accessories into an art object.

The appearance of the mechanisms is no less unique than their design. The protective socket covers are made in a slider format and slide up with a light "swipe." Such a solution allows installing them near furniture, they are suitable for wet areas – kitchen and bathroom. The elegant switch keys resemble piano keys, especially in multi-gang rows. Minimalistic thin mechanisms with a matte texture look modern and do not accumulate dust.

The collection includes products in pastel and monochrome palette: 5 main shades – white, vanilla, steel, gray, black, as well as additional – beige, chocolate and aluminum. Each shade is thought out in accordance with trends in interior design.

Quality you can trust

The mechanisms connect to each other on special latches with a single press of the hand.

The material of the products is durable and wear-resistant polycarbonate. All mechanism contacts are tinned. These features ensure safe and durable operation of the mechanisms.

Illuminated switches are equipped with quality LEDs and compatible with any light sources. An additional pusher ensures reliable switching of the switch.

For the convenience of electricians, marked quick-connect terminals are provided: the earth contact is highlighted in green. Quick multi-gang installation is ensured by eccentrics and a "dovetail" system with spring effect.

Recognition

The release of the FORTE&PIANO line was a loud event in the design community. In 2024, FORTE&PIANO wiring accessories became laureates of the Eurasian Award "Golden Photon. Choice of the Smart City" in the "Breakthrough of the Year" nomination.

In 2025, the collection was recognized as the best at one of the largest international design competitions – iF DESIGN AWARD in the "Product Design" nomination (Building Technology). The award has been held since 1954 and is considered one of the most prestigious in the world. Evaluation of nominated products is conducted on five criteria: idea, form, functionality, differentiation and brand fit, eco-friendliness.

"FORTE&PIANO rethinks ordinary design and offers an innovative solution, simplifying interaction with the product from the production stage to operation", — it is said on the winner's page on the competition website. The organizers also noted the economy and eco-friendliness of the collection: the absence of frames reduces the number of parts in the design, which allows using fewer resources in production.
