Formicights – Curator – JD Annual Design Awards 2019 – Interior Design

The Designers Sharath C and SagarKalburgi’s product ‘FORMICIGHTS’ is a combination of Formicarium and Light. It is inspired by the Ant Colony/Hill.

An Ant Colony or an Ant Hill is the basic unit around which ants organize their lifecycle. Usually, the term refers to the collection of workers, reproductive individuals, and brood that live together, cooperate and treat one other non-aggressively. They are eusocial and are very much like those found in other social Hymenoptera. The Designers have gathered information about the Ant Colony or an Ant Hill and have incorporated their lifestyle and design into their product which is a lighting fixture.

Lighting can make or break the ambiance of a room or space. It also adds a style to the Interior Décor.  Considering this the designers have incorporated the basic structure of the Ant Hill and have given an interesting form to it. One innovative feature of this product is that one can use acrylic sheets, timer delay circuits or beat sensor circuits to change the lights according to the ambiance or the mood of the surroundings.

The product has a series of LED lights which areelectricity efficient and consumes less power compared to other lights. It can be used as constant glowing lights or as flicker lights which adds the beauty of the product. These lights are perfect for any commercial or residential spaces.
