# Cornered Looking Glasses The Check Mirror Has a Crooked Frame for Leaning in Different Directions By Amelia Roblin | Published 2014-03-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/check-mirror References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2014/03/08/mirror-by-kaschkasch-cologne-for-menu-slots-into-corners/) & [kaschkasch.de](http://www.kaschkasch.de/whatDetailsCheck.html) The corners of rooms are under-utilized spaces, so the designer of the Check Mirror took the opportunity to make a piece that would nestle in there quite nicely. The Menu product is fairly [minimalist in form](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zigzag-collection), comprising a steel frame and a long rectangular reflector, but it's a quirk of the former component that actually gives it more versatility. The top bar of the metal border has been bent out of shape, forming a 90-degree angle backwards. With this pointed and protruding element, the [full-length mirror](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-omnia) can be securely tucked into the meeting of two perpendicular walls. What's more, the [Kaschkasch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antao-3d) Cologne Check Mirror may still be effectively placed in front of a flat surface. There, it could face forwards or be angled towards one side of the room or another. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Utilizing Corner Spaces:** Designing innovative products or furniture that make use of under-utilized corner spaces in rooms. - **Minimalist Steel Frames:** Developing minimalist designs using steel frames for various products like mirrors, furniture, or decor. - **Versatile Angled Mirrors:** Creating mirrors with angled frames that can be securely tucked into corners or angled towards different areas of a room. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** Exploring new ways to utilize corner spaces in interior design, such as developing innovative furniture or decor solutions. - **Home Furnishings:** Developing minimalist steel frame products, like mirrors and furniture, that offer both aesthetic appeal and functionality. - **Home Decor:** Creating versatile mirrors with angled frames that can be used as statement pieces and can be positioned in various ways for different purposes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Geometrical Golden Ratio Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ascension-wall-mirror.md) - [Optical Illusion Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hooptical.md) - [Dynamic Structural Mirror Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bton-brut.md) - [Space-Saving Garment Care Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flip-dualfunction-ironing-board-mirror.md) - [Bifold Functional Storage Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cabine-mirror.md) - [Illusory Doorway Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panis-mirror.md) - [Curvaceous Shelf-Paired Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wave-mirror.md) - [Artful Hanging Contemporary Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ready-to-hang.md) - [Wavy Dual-Action Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archvyli.md)
