DIAMOND

Diamonds are radiant white,
They shine like stars in the night.
Shay Jones

Diamond is the hardest known natural material.
From ancient Greek, diamond means unbreakable.
Diamond also has relatively high optical dispersion (ability to disperse light of different colors), which results in its characteristic luster. Excellent optical and mechanical properties, notably unparalleled hardness and durability, make diamond the most popular gemstone.

DESIGN
The diamond may remind rarity, preciousness and its high value.
The will is to exploit diamond incredible light reflection capabilities.
"Diamond" is a structural frame that leaves the light passing through.
There is a contrast between the well-known hardness of the diamond and the visible fragility of that frame.
The light seems to be confining in this crystal frame which protect it.
The led light should be soft to avoid eyes disagreement because the light bulb is not hidden.

PROCESS
With the 3D printing process we are able to create anykind of complicated structure without process constraints.
In my opinion, it is essential to come up with a shape that you can not realise with traditional processes like injection or thermoforming.
Therefore, it would be a pity not to leverage this new technology to investigate into new product shape and structure.

ENVIRONMENT
Diamond light would be suitable in a place where the light could be highlighted.
"Diamond" can be placed on a flat surface too thanks to its particular shape like on a bedside table.

MATERIAL
A clear material would be the most appropriate to fit the diamond transparency.
Light may reflect all over the diamond frame.
