M+ CUBE - MORE DESIGN FOR ONLY A LITTLE EXTRA
  The Merten System
A system with many combination possibilities. That's what makes System M, for example, one of the most flexible switch ranges around:
- 4 versions made of different materials
- 5 differing designs
- Inserts for more than 210 functions


M+ makes a convincing case
On the subject of changing design, the new M+ cube demonstrates clearly how quickly and simply designs can be changed and combined without having to replace the insert.

The actual colour and actual size illustrations of the switch cases, available for the switch range System M and System Design, help you make the right design choice.


The comprehensive System M range, for example the extra-glossy M-SMART

Please ask your Merten field representative for further information about M+ design cube or switch cases.

THE RITZ-CARLTON IN BEIJING IS EQUIPPED BY MERTEN
  One reference is worth more than a thousand words.
Anyone planning or constructing a building depends on the experience of expert suppliers. Merten offers decades of experience in intelligent building technology.

The Ritz Carlton Beijing was designed by the international architectural firm Wimberly Allison Tong & Goo. The luxury hotel is on the hub of the capital's dynamically growing finance district.

The Ritz-Carlton is well-know for its extraordinarily high design demands and places great value on the stylish decor of its hotels. For this reason, after having equipped the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Berlin, Merten was once again chosen to fit out all of the hotel rooms with the multi-award winning switch ranges M-PLAN and M-STAR from System M.

100 YEARS OF MERTEN - TRADITION AND VISIONS
  The company "Merten Brothers" was founded in 1906 as a family company. Even today the company has remained true to its location in the Oberbergisches Land and employs around 600 staff in four factories and seven sales offices in Germany and more than 40 agents worldwide. Merten has made its name internationally with "Solutions for intelligent buildings" and numerous design awards and since June 2006 is an active part of the internationally successful French Schneider Electric Group.


Success through good design
Even in the mid 50's Merten recognised the relevance of product design. Merten transferred the combination of technical innovation and extraordinary design to all product solutions. Today, through this, Merten offers well-designed solutions from a single source and presents comprehensive programmes for all living and everyday needs for home and work construction projects.


The future of switching
Major figures from the world of architecture and design have thought out new ideas for Merten. Merten used these to develop a progressive design strategy. The readable study "Switch - The Culture of Switching" is available from Stylepark Publishing House (ISBN: 3-00-018639-5).

DESIGN PRIZE OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY
  Merten has always stood for innovative technology and exclusive design. Most recent recognition: a cool five nominations for the Design Prize of the Federal Republic of Germany: M-SMART ACTIVE WHITE, AQUADESIGN, ANTI-VANDALISM, BED SIDE PANEL and the CD-ROM "Solutions for intelligent buildings".

The design prize is the official design award in Germany and is awarded for excellent product and communication design. Companies cannot apply for this design prize; they can only ever be nominated. So it is the "prize of all prizes".

In addition the extremely robust switch range ANTI-VANDALISM was awarded the MATERIALICA Design Award 2006. An award for the perfect interplay of material, workmanship and design.
