加码人造钻石，施华洛世奇集团将人造钻石品牌 Diama 归入旗下奢侈品部门。

奥地利时尚珠宝品牌施华洛世奇（Swarovski）宣布，将旗下人造钻石珠宝品牌 Diama 从施华洛世奇的宝石部门转移至奢侈品部门——Atelier Swarovski。Diama创立于2016年5月，其所有产品系列皆采用施华洛世奇的人造钻石制作。品牌所使用的人造钻石是通过将碳原子通过高温高压压缩制作而成，外观和坚硬程度等指标完全相同。

人造钻石制作过程中没有传统的开采钻石所带来的环境影响，而且价格也更为便宜，生产成本比开采的天然钻石要低30%，因此被很多人视为“钻石的未来”。据 Morgan Stanley 的一份报告显示，目前钻石行业的总销售额约为 800亿美元，而其中人造钻石仅占 1.5亿美元左右，但是预计将在2020年增加至10.5亿美元。

The new project of Assouindé’s primary school is a new canteen building developed to accomodate 200 kids of the village during lunchtime. Assouindé is a village in Ivory Coast.The canteen is organized around two main spaces, the “salle à manger” and the “cuisine”. A main roof covers both spaces allowing a better air flow as well as a sun and rain protection.
The main space, the “salle à manger”, is surrounded by a unique long bench that encloses the space and offers a sitting area for the kids during lunch. This space has also been thought as a meeting point for the villagers during social events. The “cuisine” is the space used to prepare the food for the kids’ lunch. It connects itself to the “salle à manger” thanks to a large opening. The canteen is being realised according to the usual construction methods and materials which are found in the village.
