# Minimalist Concrete Mirrors Clique Editions Debuts a Collection of Minimalist Concrete Mirrors By Ell Smith | Published 2017-05-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concrete-mirrors References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/clique-editions-debuts-2017-collection-of-mirrors/) & [follownews](https://www.follownews.com/clique-editions-debuts-2017-collection-of-mirrors-30rbg) Designers Claudio Larcher and Filippo Protasioni combined advanced robotic technology with Italian design to create this collection of [concrete mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zigzag-collection) for Clique Editions. The mirrors were inspired by The Canton of Ticino, an Italian-speaking region in Switzerland, and were styled with Egyptian antiquity and Persian architecture in mind. Each piece of concrete was collected from local stones, and acts as a subtle nod to nature. Unique in design, the collection features a variety of different [sculptural elements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terra-frammenti), some elaborate, some subtle. One mirror appears to be balancing on a [rocky terrain](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/couture-collection-2), while another is equalized between a maze-like base. Clique Editions feature unique Italian designs with "electric hearts" allowing consumers to contemplate the artistic existence of each every day item. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Top markets: 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 - **Robotic Technology in Design:** The combination of advanced robotic technology and design opens up opportunities for creating unique and innovative products. - **Nature-inspired Concrete Mirrors:** Concrete mirrors inspired by natural elements present a disruptive opportunity to merge art and functionality. - **Sculptural Mirror Designs:** Exploring sculptural elements in mirror design disrupts the traditional concept of mirrors and offers a new artistic perspective. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can incorporate robotic technology to create one-of-a-kind concrete mirror designs. - **Home Decor:** Concrete mirrors inspired by nature present an opportunity for the home decor industry to offer unique and nature-inspired products. - **Art and Sculpture:** Sculptural mirror designs can disrupt the art and sculpture industry by blending functionality and aesthetics in innovative ways. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artful Custom Mirror Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portraits-collection.md) - [Architecture-Inspired Compact Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/friedrich-mini.md) - [Sophisticated Copper Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manu-ba.md) - [Artful Hanging Contemporary Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ready-to-hang.md) - [Concrete Sculptural Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ancora.md) - [Reflective Water-Themed Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lakes-collection.md) - [Performance-Driven Minimalist Tiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-tile.md) - [One-of-a-Kind Ceramic Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-mirror.md) - [Sculpturally Artistic Copper Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manu-bano-obj08-mirrors.md)
