"Daiyamondo" series lamps

Type
Cultural › Sculpture
STATUS
Concept
These series of lamps were made by reversing the characteristics of a diamond as an icon of western glamour, from the perspective of contemporary Japanese culture. Using only paper, which is very lightweight and economical material, this lamp lights an idealized notion of western luxury from the perspective of Japanese cartoon-like subculture.
The proportion of each lamp types such as its height and size, were based on traditional paper lamp used on Japanese tatami floor, making an indirect reference to a traditional design. Borrowing symbolic technique commonly used in contemporary Japanese cartoon such as stars and lines representing lights shining, these lamps play cross-cultural, semiotic, anthropological game between the hardness of idealized western luxury and the immateriality of Japanese aesthetics.
Instead of literally reproducing a diamond shape, its geometry is an asymmetrical volume that changes its appearance depending on viewer’s angle.
In Japan, the English word “Diamond” is spelled “Daiyamondo”

Project Designer: Mr. Ben Ryuki Miyagi, based in Kyoto, Japan.
Intern design assistant for this project: Mr. Filipe Pedro at Ben Ryuki Miyagi’s Kyoto office
