# Shattered Glass Art Broken Mirror Lighting Gets a Second Home Decor Chance By Meghan Young | Published 2009-12-21 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/broken-mirror-lighting References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2009/12/21/a-shape-in-the-broken-mirror/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:) 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). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Upcycled Decor:** Creating new and beautiful pieces from broken or discarded materials to reduce waste and promote sustainability. - **Artistic Recycling:** Transforming broken objects into stunning artwork, blurring the line between function and aesthetic appeal. - **Reimagined Mirror Design:** Breaking away from traditional mirror aesthetics and embracing the unique beauty of shattered glass. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Decor:** Opportunities to introduce eco-friendly and artistic home decor pieces that utilize upcycled and unconventional materials. - **Art and Design:** Exploring new ways to incorporate broken or discarded objects into art and design, embracing imperfections and uniqueness. - **Lighting:** Innovative lighting design using shattered glass or unconventional materials to create visually striking and unique lighting fixtures. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Suspended Mirrored Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirror-collection-1.md) - [Travel-Themed Fractured Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baggage-claim-mirrors.md) - [Optical Illusion Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hooptical.md) - [Celestial Mirror Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suzanne-oddy.md) - [Illusory Mirror Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirror-table-lamp.md) - [Emotional Light Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miror-collection.md) - [Multifaceted Glass Crystal Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crystal-light-fixtures.md) - [Dynamic Artful Light Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ghost-chandelier.md) - [Dynamic Structural Mirror Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zigzag-collection.md)
