Here at Trend Hunter, we love a good optical illusion, especially one that disappears. From staircases that seem to fuse into adjoining walls to perfume that sprays on blue and dries clear, the dissolving and disappearing innovations featured in this cluster will all make you do a double take.
What’s neat about the products and designs featured below is that they each disappear in a different way. Some fade with time, like lawn art whose designs disappear once the grass regrows. Other products like the Chevy Aveo billboard rely on people, not nature, to make them disappear.
