Slider: from gesture to emotion

By May 13, 2025November 12th, 2025No Comments

PLH introduces the new Slider control component, a system that introduces a fluid and intuitive interaction, clearly differentiating itself from traditional round, square and lever controls. Available in the MakeUp, Skin, Slim, Mono and Keyboard collections, Slider redefines the way of interacting with the environment, overcoming the limits between design, aesthetics and technology.

It does not limit itself to controlling the light: it transforms the gesture into a functional and advanced experience, integrating into an ecosystem increasingly attentive to usability and concrete innovation. With Slider, every movement becomes an emotion, bringing to the market not just an object, but a vision.

From gesture to emotion: the heart of Slider

Slider is based on a simple idea: the natural gesture of sliding, which allows you to easily adjust light intensity, volume, color temperature and more. Just one gesture to control the environment with the same spontaneity with which we interact every day with the objects that surround us.

Everything flows: time, the rain sliding down a surface, the passing of the seasons, the flow of water in a stream, the rhythm of the tides. And just like these natural elements, Slider activates with a smooth and continuous movement, from right to left or from top to bottom.

“From motion to emotion” It is not just a concept: each adjustment becomes a sensorial experience that transforms the space in tune with the emotions and desires of the user. Thanks to Slider, each environment comes to life, responding naturally to the needs of those who live there.

One gesture, infinite possibilities

Inspired by the sliding sliders of audio mixers, PLH Sliders transform the control of light, sound, color, fragrance and more into an intuitive, sensory experience. With a simple gesture, everything becomes modular, creating tailor-made atmospheres:

Aroma: Slider allows you to dose and regulate the intensity of the vaporization of fragrances and aromas, modulating the diffusion in the environment.

RGB Control: Thanks to three sliders, Slider allows you to combine and modulate color shades naturally.

Tunable White: from warm white to cold white with a single movement, Slider allows you to modulate the temperature of the light, choosing the most suitable shade for visual comfort and well-being.

White: a simple and direct control, with a natural gesture it is possible to adjust the light intensity and turn the light on or off.

Movement Control or Fun: Slider goes beyond light and also revolutionizes the control of motorized devices such as fans, electric shutters or projectors.

Sound: Sound becomes a whole new experience with Slider. Not only can you adjust the volume or turn the music on and off, but you can also customize the audio in every detail.

Advanced technology and maximum customization

Slider integrates seamlessly with the most advanced technologies. Every detail has been studied to offer a fluid and intuitive interaction, without sacrificing precision and reliability. Thanks to its compatibility with the DALI 2 and KNX protocols, Slider adapts perfectly to the most advanced home automation systems, ensuring efficient and flexible control of light sources and other devices.


In addition to technology, design also plays a fundamental role.
Slider is available, as in PLH's DNA, in different configurations and infinite finishes, allowing for perfect integration in the MakeUp, Skin, Slim, Mono and Keyboard collections.

The MakeUp and Skin versions are available in square (81x81mm) and rectangular (124x81mm) formats, with a thickness of 10mm and with the possibility of combining the sliding controls with traditional buttons or choosing an entirely slider configuration.

The Slim collection offers dimensions of 124x40mm and 152x40mm, with an ultra-thin 4mm profile, characteristic of the iconic Slim plate. In this version too, it is possible to combine sliders and buttons or opt for an exclusively slider layout.
Thanks to the wide range of materials, including brass and aluminum,
Slider integrates elegantly and harmoniously into any environment, from the most classic to the most contemporary.

With this innovation PLH confirms once again its pioneering role in the sector, presenting a control system with an analogue feel, but totally digital, which does not limit itself to managing the environment, but transforms it into an immersive, intuitive and engaging experience, blending technology, aesthetics and emotion in a single solution.
