With an ultra-modern, minimalist aesthetic becoming the design model of choice, almost invisible items are all the rage. When it comes to tech products, building construction and interior design elements, the idea is that less is more. Thus, consumers are leaning toward purchasing products that are more subtly stylish and certainly not opaque.
Transparent products are a modest touch to any tech accessory, and see-through smartphone cases are allowing users to show off the sleek and ultra thin designs of their expensive telephones without worrying about them being scratched or broken by not using a case. Decorating one's home is now focused on how little the objects in the abode can be noticed rather than how eye-catching they are.The transparent theme expands to even more elaborate measures, from buildings made from see-through cement to clear cars.
