Corston 800

Corston Architectural Detail, a UK-based brand offering architectural hardware, switches, sockets, and lighting that is integrated into the built environment, is making its debut in the U.S. market.

Founded in 2019 by a team of designers and engineers with 50+ years of combined experience in the interiors industry, Corston’s design approach blends restraint, precision, and enduring beauty. Every product is designed in-house with attention to proportion, crafted to last, and engineered to bring harmony and flow to any space.

Since its launch, the brand has expanded across 10 European markets and opened a flagship showroom in Paris last year. Now, Corston is set to introduce its quiet, refined aesthetic to the U.S., offering a fresh perspective on high-end architectural details. Corston’s thoughtful design process prioritizes sustainable materials and eliminates plastic packaging, reflecting a responsible approach to both style and the environment. Nearly all products are crafted from solid brass, which is a recyclable material.

Key products include:

● 3G Two Way Toggle Switch – This contemporary interpretation of the classic dolly/toggle

switch is crafted from solid brass to deliver character, sophistication, and substantial weight.

● Claremont Medium Wall Light Fluted Glass – This sleek wall light offers both upward

and downward illumination featuring hand-blown glass shades and a streamlined

silhouette.

● Poplar Sprung Door Knob – This doorknob combines timeless design with modern

craftsmanship, offering a sleek and elegant touch to any door.

David Gray, Corston’s co-founder and product director says, “No other brand is offering what we do: quality products, designed by us, at a good price point with efficient lead times. Now operating in 13 markets, we’re confident that the American consumer will welcome our unrivalled product portfolio.”
