Modern Elegance Inspired by Vintage Bakelite

Brown Double Socket

Our Brown Collection double socket is where timeless design meets contemporary craftsmanship. Inspired by the charm and character of the original brown Bakelite sockets from the early 20th century, this beautifully engineered electrical fitting reimagines a classic look with a modern twist. Perfect for both traditional interiors and contemporary spaces, it’s an ideal choice for anyone who appreciates vintage style with reliable, modern performance.

Each Bakelite style socket in the Brown Collection is crafted with meticulous attention to detail. We start with a high-quality metal plate and pair it with a dependable Contactum insert to ensure safe, consistent power delivery. The plate is then expertly powder coated in a rich black-brown finish, creating a durable, hard-wearing surface with a bold, glossy shine. The result is a brown socket that not only looks beautiful but is built to withstand daily use – offering long-lasting quality while retaining its distinctive, elegant appearance.

This brown Bakelite socket is a modern reinterpretation of the iconic Bakelite brown fittings that graced homes throughout the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. While it pays homage to the vintage character of a traditional Bakelite switch and socket, the refined powder-coated surface, crisp detailing, and contemporary silhouette make it perfectly suited to today’s interiors. Whether you’re restoring a period property, styling a mid-century modern space, or adding a unique finishing touch to a renovation, this socket brings understated character and timeless appeal.
