Although breaking a mirror (apparently) entails seven years bad luck, I wonder if that would change if that shattered glass looked anything like the Broken Mirror Lighting. If the cracks and crevices formed a beautiful work of art, wouldn’t that fall more in the good luck category instead?
Designed by Hye-Yeon Kim, the Broken Mirror Lighting provides ‘destroyed’ mirrors with a second chance (although I’m not sure how practical it would be to have anything broken laying around the house).
