Material: Glass Crystal

Dimensions: 4.06x3.44x2.26"

This extra large desk magnifier is made from glass crystal and renders image and text at 1.5x the actual size. If sunlight is captured at the correct angle, the Prism will cascade a rainbow on your desk. The magnifier was designed by Daniel Martinez for the class Small Things Matter, a collaboration between Areaware and Parsons The New School for Design.

2% of the proceeds of Prism Magnifier sales are donated to the Wikimedia Foundation.

Daniel Martinez is a Product/Industrial Designer originally from New Jersey. He is currently studying at Parsons the New School for Design where he is working on a BFA in Product Design.  He has always been interested in the way people interact with the things around them and the connections people make to these objects.  Through his designs he attempts to express the idea of simple beauty, stripping an object down to its most basic form and function while exploring the connection between creation and construction.
