About Acenti

The Acenti® by Leviton Collection is the first all-new design for Residential Wiring Devices and Lighting Controls to be introduced to the marketplace in more than 30 years.

Leviton teamed with renowned innovation and design firm IDEO -- designers of the original mouse for Apple Computer, the Palm™ V handheld computer, the Leap® office chair and the interior of the Acela™ high-speed commuter train -- to reinvent the most ubiquitous products in the home: electrical switches, lighting controls and receptacles.

Rather than adapting existing designs, Leviton tasked IDEO to consider the modern luxury home, and to create a completely new design platform for it.

The design process was among the most ambitious product development efforts in Leviton’s 98-year history, involving extensive consultations with interior designers, architects, homeowners, home builders and electricians; field observations; and creation of more than 30 prototype designs. IDEO developed the overall design language of the Acenti platform; the design firm FishEye Design (based in Woodside, N.Y.) executed the design for the dimmer.

Leviton is a company on the forefront of innovation, which is why the Acenti Collection is complete, designed down to the last detail.

An industry first…The new Acenti geometry allowed Leviton to create two industry firsts: the Triplex and Sixplex receptacles*, which can accommodate three and six plugs respectively, eliminating the need for a power strip or adapter. The Acenti dimmer uses a simple, intuitive control scheme with a signature blue LED locator light. The push pad is easy to operate, and features a unique “return-to-neutral-position” design. A single gentle push turns power on or off.

The return-to-neutral-position design is also featured on Acenti on/off, nondimming switches, creating a clean, uniform look, especially when multiple switches are installed in multiganged applications. In addition, Acenti’s unique wallplate design eliminates the dividers (web) between each device, creating a sleek and minimalist look.
