Everything you
need to know.

FORMAE is an architectural light instrument that reproduces the colour, softness and depth of an open sky indoors. Recessed and borderless, each installation is composed by hand and held with intent, a designed scene of daylight, not a fixture.

FORMAE is remote directed by design. There are no motion sensors, no cameras and no automation deciding for you. Every scene is a deliberate choice you compose and hold, the way a lighting designer would specify it, not the way an algorithm interpolates it.

No. FORMAE needs no roof penetration and no sky above. It renders daylight optically, so it works on any floor and in any room, including basements, apartments and windowless interiors.

A backlit panel is a flat, even glow. FORMAE composes depth, direction and the graduated colour of a true sky, so the room reads as if it opens onto the outdoors rather than onto a lit surface.

No. The light is optically diffused into a single, even field with graduated colour, no dot grid, no hot spots and no visible hardware.

Every FORMAE is bespoke. Dimension, proportion, the colour signature and the way light enters the room are composed for your architecture and calibrated on site.

The Ceiling Series (a full depth sky), the Wall Series (a 45° window of light for windowless rooms), the Object Series (the brass and walnut remote), and the Atelier (fully bespoke commissions).

Signatures are composed light worlds, from Rajasthan Gold to Himalayan Dawn, a library of Indian light you can hold in a room and return to whenever you wish.

Yes. Our studio prepares a scene proposal for your specific room, and where possible a sample calibration, before any installation begins.

Each installation is made to order and calibrated on site. A typical commission runs eight to twelve weeks from design sign off, depending on scale and finish.

A solid (RCC) ceiling soffit and a modest recess depth. Our studio surveys the room, integrates the system into the architecture, and calibrates the final scene on site.

The Ceiling Series reads best from roughly 2.4 metres (about 8 feet). For lower ceilings, the Wall Series delivers the same authored light through a vertical window of light.

FORMAE is installed by our own trained team rather than a general electrician. On site work usually takes a few days, followed by scene calibration.

Yes. We coordinate with your architect and contractor so the system is recessed cleanly, and the finishing around it is handled as part of the fit out.

Yes, provided the ceiling soffit allows the recess. Our survey confirms feasibility before we commission the work.

It can. A FORMAE scene can move from a warm morning through a bright noon to a soft dusk, but only when you choose. Nothing changes on its own unless you direct it to.

Authored daylight supports mood, focus and a natural sense of time indoors. Because you direct it, the light serves the room and the moment rather than a fixed schedule.

FORMAE reproduces the appearance and quality of daylight, not its ultraviolet content. It is designed for visual comfort and does not emit meaningful UV.

Nothing, unless you compose it. FORMAE holds whatever scene you set, a dim, warm evening sky, or off entirely, and never switches itself on or off.

No. FORMAE has no sensors, no cameras and collects no data, a deliberate choice for bedrooms, spas and private suites.

Through the Object Series remote, a weighted brass and walnut instrument designed to be held, not hidden, or discreet in room controls. The remote is the interface; the room is the display.

Every FORMAE installation carries a comprehensive multi year studio warranty on the optical and electronic system, with ongoing support and recalibration available.

FORMAE uses efficient solid state light sources and draws far less power than the daylight it appears to deliver. Actual draw depends on the scale of the installation and the scene.

Almost nothing is required. The surface is cleaned like any ceiling, and the sealed system is serviced by our team, who can recalibrate a scene at any time.

Our studio supports every installation directly. We diagnose remotely where possible and schedule a service visit when needed.

FORMAE designs and installs across India’s major cities, from Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru and Hyderabad to Jaipur, Kochi, Indore and Chandigarh.
