# Minimalist Rustic Mirrors The CR Mirror by Miles Dexter Stylishly Combines Copper and Rope By Meghan Young | Published 2013-06-21 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cr-mirror References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/copper-rope-cr-mirrors-by-miles-dexter) & [contemporarylab](http://contemporarylab.com/decoration/mirrors/c-r-mirrors.html) There might be a lot of texture to the CR Mirror, but overall, the design is beautifully [minimalist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/friedrich-mini). The [combination of copper and rope](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zigzag-collection), for which it was named after, provides the perfect rustic touch for the home without being too gimmicky or even gaudy. Instead, the CR Mirror fits into a theme softly so that a modern home can stay, well, modern. Designed by United Kingdom-based designer Miles Dexter, the CR Mirror is also slightly industrial, which will also appeal to nautical-loving urbanites. Using soft flax rope, which is secured together with a band of copper, the [circular looking glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archvyli) have an organic feel. It is hung on an oak peg, which comes with the CR Mirror. The CR Mirror is available in two sizes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Minimalist Interior Design:** The minimalist rustic mirror trend presents an opportunity for interior designers to incorporate simple yet stylish pieces into modern homes. - **Natural and Industrial Fusion:** The combination of copper and rope in the CR Mirror reflects a growing trend of blending natural and industrial elements, providing opportunities for artisans and home decor manufacturers. - **Rustic Chic Aesthetics:** The CR Mirror's rustic yet chic design taps into the demand for unique and visually appealing decor, creating opportunities for boutique home decor retailers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can embrace the minimalist rustic mirror trend to offer their clients functional and aesthetically pleasing design solutions. - **Artisans and Craftsmen:** Artisans and craftsmen can explore the natural and industrial fusion trend by creating innovative home decor products that blend different materials. - **Home Decor Retail:** Home decor retailers can cater to the demand for rustic chic aesthetics by curating a selection of unique and visually appealing decor items, such as the CR Mirror. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sculpturally Artistic Copper Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manu-bano-obj08-mirrors.md) - [Dynamic Structural Mirror Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bton-brut.md) - [Artful Hanging Contemporary Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ready-to-hang.md) - [Celestial Mirror Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suzanne-oddy.md) - [Geometrical Golden Ratio Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ascension-wall-mirror.md) - [Curvaceous Shelf-Paired Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wave-mirror.md) - [Reflective Water-Themed Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lakes-collection.md) - [Optical Illusion Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hooptical.md) - [Colorful Retro Pixel Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paint-mirror.md)
