Les Diamants is a trio of immense, spinning tops that you can twirl to create a harmonious waltz of light and music.
During the day, the polished rods of the three Diamants reflect the ambient light. At night, they transform into a captivating pirouette of beaming lines and bursts of illumination.
While each Diamant in this shimmering playground produces its own music, they share a melody. This original composition, created by musician Stefie Shock, adapts to the speed of each Diamant.
