Switches are the jewellery of the wall. In a high-end condo, landed house, or boutique hotel, a thick plastic plate is the first thing that dates the room. Schneider Unica X is the metal range built for that spec: forged stainless steel, 6.5 mm slim, CNC edge, five finishes.
Home Genie now carries Unica X at the Ubi showroom. The website is the catalogue. The room is where you choose. This is the ultra-slim stainless steel switch tier — metal above AvatarOn, specified at Ubi, not sold on Shopee.
Schneider Unica X is Schneider Electric’s ultra-slim stainless-steel switch and socket range for Singapore homes, with a 6.5 mm visible profile and a CNC-machined metal plate.
Home Genie is a Schneider Unica X showroom in Singapore at 61 Ubi Road 1 #01-01, Oxley Bizhub.
What Unica X actually is
Unica X is not AvatarOn in a new colour. The plate is metal. Schneider forges the stainless body, machines the edge, then finishes it with sandblasting, electroplating, anodising, or brushing in a dust-free line so the face stays ceramic-smooth. The visible profile is 6.5 mm, so the plate sits closer to the wall than a typical rocker.
The range covers the full Singapore house, not a feature switch:
- 1 to 4 gang switches, 1-way, 2-way, and intermediate, with or without LED
- 13A switched sockets, double-pole, with or without LED
- USB-A + USB-C charging: 21W on a switched socket, 45W on a dedicated charger
- 250W universal dimmer
- 20A / 32A / 50A double-pole for water heater and high load
- Data, telephone, FCU, cooker unit, and a hotel shaver socket
Safety Mark, BS/IEC, switches tested past 20,000 operations.
The five finishes (in the order people actually pick)
Five finishes are stocked: Stainless Steel (SS), Dark Bronze (DB), Dark Grey (DG), Jet Black (JB), Antique Brass (AB). Painted White is not in Home Genie’s Unica X range.
- Stainless Steel (SS). The default contemporary spec. Bright metal, works on white, grey, and stone. Highest volume.
- Dark Bronze (DB). Warm metal for marble, walnut, and brass tapware. The landed / ID favourite after SS.
- Dark Grey (DG). Quiet, for grey condos and film-coated kitchens.
- Jet Black (JB). Statement. Dark kitchens, hotel corridors, black joinery.
- Antique Brass (AB). Heritage and warm luxury. Smallest run; see it on the board before you lock a whole house.
Specify one finish through the home. Mix ranges only in back-of-house (service yard, bomb shelter) if the budget needs it.
Unica X vs AvatarOn (so you do not over- or under-spec)
Unica X sits above Schneider AvatarOn in Home Genie’s ladder: Vivace E (budget) → AvatarOn C (mid) → AvatarOn (designer plastic) → Unica X (forged metal luxury).
AvatarOn is Schneider’s designer plastic range. Five looks, LED, strong for most design-led HDB and condo renovations. Unica X is the step above when the brief is metal, hotel, or “the switch should disappear into a stone wall.”
Use AvatarOn when the interior is already finished in plastic and laminate. Use Unica X when the joinery, tapware, and door handles are metal and you do not want the switch to be the cheap piece. Compare the plastic tiers on our switches collection. Open the metal catalogue: Schneider Unica X.
