Gira System 55: a system built for design freedom

The number 55 refers to the standard 55 × 55 mm dimensions that connect all components in Gira System 55. The system is based on a modular design, similar to a building block principle: different inserts with a range of functions can be integrated into a cover frame of your choice. Whether a light switch, socket outlet, blind control, or smart pushbutton sensor, you can combine exactly what is needed in each room. 

The particular strength of Gira System 55 lies in its design freedom.

The particular strength of Gira System 55 lies in its design freedom. As all design lines are based on the same standard dimensions, cover frames and inserts from different design lines can be freely combined. Following the mix-and-match principle, you can create individual combinations of materials, colours, and functions. 

This means that your installation can be adapted at any time to suit personal preferences or changing requirements, without having to commit to a single design from the outset. 

Gira System 55 includes design lines with very different characters. From minimalist classics to expressive combinations of materials, each design line has its own distinctive style and opens up additional possibilities for individual interior design. 

Materials often have a greater influence on the character of a room than you might expect. With its exceptional selection of surfaces, Gira System 55 offers a wide range of possibilities for individual interior design. 

Plastic provides a robust, easy-care basis. Stainless steel stands for clean, understated design and is a classic choice in modern architecture.

Plastic provides a robust, easy-care basis. Stainless steel stands for clean, understated design and is a classic choice in modern architecture. With its finely ground surface, aluminium brings timeless quality to the wall. Bronze adds warm, elegant accents and gives rooms a distinctive character. Glass creates glossy highlights and, depending on the surroundings, provides light or dark contrasts. Linoleum multiplex stands out with its distinctive surface and gives rooms a natural, homely feel. 

This transforms every light switch or control element from a functional detail into a visible part of the interior design. 

With more than 300 function inserts, Gira System 55 covers almost every area of modern electrical installation. Lighting control, shading, room climate, door communication, as well as network and media connections can all be implemented within a consistent design system. 

In everyday life, this versatility takes many forms. Dimmers create the right lighting mood, blind controls provide greater convenience, room temperature controllers ensure a pleasant indoor climate, and door communication systems offer greater security and convenience in entrance areas.

The range is complemented by numerous socket outlets and connection solutions for living and working spaces. 

For those who also want to network their home, Gira System 55 offers suitable Smart Home solutions. Gira System 3000 provides an easy introduction to Smart Home technology, Gira One enables comprehensive networking of central home functions, and KNX offers extensive automation with maximum flexibility.

A sustainable product is also one that can be used for many years. The modular principle of Gira System 55 makes it possible to replace or add functions, inserts, or cover frames as required without having to replace the entire installation. This keeps both design and technology flexible in the long term. 

More sustainable alternatives are also available when it comes to materials.

More sustainable alternatives are also available when it comes to materials. With Gira Esprit linoleum multiplex, System 55 offers a design line made from organic and natural materials. For selected variants of the Gira E2 design line (grey matt and aluminium), the plastic components are also made predominantly from recycled material produced by Gira,¹ helping to conserve resources and reduce the carbon footprint compared with virgin material.² Since the launch of the new generation of switches in 2024, recycled plastic has also been used in every mechanical Gira light switch. The base is made entirely from recycled thermoplastic. 

Durable materials, flexible options for expansion, and timeless design help ensure that Gira System 55 can remain part of your home for many years.
