In a market where the smallest design choices make the biggest visual impact, Geberit’s new Sigma40 actuator plate is the kind of quiet luxury that speaks volumes. At just 4mm thin, this latest launch brings sleek precision and contemporary design into one seamless detail—perfect for homeowners and interior designers looking to create that understated wow factor in their bathrooms.
Slim Is In
Unlike standard actuator plates, the Sigma40 is wider and shorter, cutting a more refined silhouette across your bathroom wall. Whether you’re styling a new BTO flat or upgrading a condo powder room, this trim detail can elevate your space with its modern proportions and near-flush finish.
Available in a range of high-end surface materials—from brushed stainless steel and elegant glass to modern coated steel in various colourways—it blends effortlessly with everything from monochrome marble to earthy terrazzo or warm woodgrain finishes. Square and round button versions allow further personalisation, so it doesn’t just fit your wall—it complements your entire design story.
Details Make the Design
With modern interiors increasingly embracing clean lines and clutter-free design, every millimetre counts. The Sigma40’s ultra-thin profile is a masterclass in minimalism, but its elegance goes beyond the surface.
Designed in collaboration with Christoph Behling, renowned for his disciplined approach to aesthetics, the actuator plate was crafted with an obsession over finish and texture. The tactile quality of the brushed metal, the refined sheen of the glass—it all comes together in a plate that looks and feels premium. It’s made for those who notice the finer things.
Not Just a Pretty Faceplate
Slimming down a functional element like an actuator plate wasn’t just a visual decision. Behind the sleek front lies a cleverly engineered snap mechanism that redefines how it is installed and interacts with the flush plate.
Traditional systems wouldn’t work with a plate this thin. So the team, led by Geberit engineer Pascal Brändli, developed a new mounting frame reinforced with glass fibres for stability. The result? A secure yet user-friendly system that makes life easier for both the homeowner and the plumber. Thoughtfully designed and quietly clever, it marries form with function in a subtle but meaningful way.
A design statement that respects space, the Sigma40 celebrates materiality, and simplifies the everyday. For those who appreciate the quieter details in a space, the Sigma40 offers a considered take on a typically overlooked element.
Whether you’re embarking on a full bathroom renovation or just looking to elevate your flush plate game, the Sigma40 shows that sometimes, the most luxurious details are the ones that quietly blend into the background—sleek, smart, and perfectly considered.
