Biomimicry Heliotrope moves in the direction of light stimulus like a sunflower

Biomimicry Heliotrope

Lighting is probably the most underrated factor of any home decor. You can alter the intensity of the colors in your decor by just changing the lighting. Amongst these, using designer lamps has probably the most intense effect. There are many types of lighting pieces of equipment that you can use inside or outside your house. Biomimicry Heliotrope is one such lighting fixture.

The most fascinating thing about a sunflower is its ability to turn with the movement of sun. Fetching inspiration from this directional growth, designer Jonathan Ota has come up with a lighting device named Biomimicry Heliotrope, an amazing example of Biomimicry in architecture, which helps the device move in the direction of sun just like a sunflower. 

The silver colored device, with a light bulb, has been fitted with a piston, which has been wedged on the other side of the blossom. When pressure is increased, alcohol evaporates in the flower that moves the piston. This movement bends the bloom in the direction of stimulus, just like a sunflower.

The flower closes up, on getting stimulus, without being plugged to an electric source. Biomimicry Heliotrope has been fashioned out of reasonably priced materials. Place it outside the house, where sunrays can touch its surface and see work mechanically like a sunflower.

The solar powered light bulb will make the outdoors sparkle when dusk sets in. Position it in a flower pot or between the greenery, Biomimicry Heliotrope will not fail to leave an impression.
