Jake Phipps sent us pics of his newest limited edition design piece, Spectrum, a faceted mirror segmented to recall "the physical attributes of cut diamonds." Though at first this description sounded a little too precious, we realized that Phipps' was more interested in reproducing the light scattering effect of cut diamonds through dispersion (creating rainbow colors), scintillation (cutting up light into small bits) and brilliance (delivering it to the eye).

This optical dispersion means that as the ambience of the mirror's environment changes throughout the day, so too does its colour and lustre, creating an ever changing focal point to a room.

A few more shots after the jump.
