There are dimmers and then there are dimmers. But while we all knew that the use of dimmers can save energy in the home, most of us weren’t aware they came fuzzy. And that’s our reasoning for posting about this little beauty.

The Essential Wall Dimmer from International Fashion Machines is neat and fuzzy. Instead of reaching for a traditional cold, plastic dimmer switch, imagine adjusting your lights with just a touch of soft, inviting fabric. A simple tap of the tufted textile sensor turns on, off or dims the lights. Easy-to-install, the Seattle-made Essential is antimicrobial, stain resistant and UL listed.
