# Photography-Inspired Mirrors Robert Sukrachand's Cyc Mirror Design is a Nod to Cyclorama By Amy Duong | Published 2018-04-10 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyc-mirror References: [design-milk](https://design-milk.com/robert-sukrachand-unveils-two-new-collections/) & [sukrachand](http://www.sukrachand.com/work#/cyc-mirror-floor-2018/) Robert Sukrachand introduced the Cyc Mirror inspired by cyclorama, which is the signature curved backdrop that is often used in photography. The photography inspiration is translated through the [curvaceous form](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zigzag-collection) that the mirror takes on on the edges -- the ends are curled upwards and are constructed from an [acid etched glass material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves). In order to bend the glass piece so smoothly, the design studio tapped Flickinger Glassworks studio—one of the very few shops that offer custom glass bending. Robert Sukrachand expresses that the Cyc Mirror plays with the concept that it "[flows into infinity](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infinito)" with its swooping curved shape. The mirror can be placed both horizontally or vertically, curving off either the floor like a cyclorama, or the sides. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 - **Curvaceous Forms:** Designers can explore curvaceous forms in various products to create visually interesting and unique designs. - **Photography-inspired Design:** Integrating photography elements into product design can create visually appealing and conceptually intriguing products. - **Custom Glass Bending:** Collaborating with glasswork studios that offer custom glass bending can unlock innovative design possibilities in various industries. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** Integrating curved mirrors inspired by photography into interior design can add artistic and visually striking elements to spaces. - **Product Design:** Incorporating curvaceous forms and photography-inspired design into products can attract consumers looking for unique and visually captivating pieces. - **Glass Manufacturing:** Expanding custom glass bending services can cater to the growing demand for innovative and visually distinctive glass products across various industries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Optical Illusion Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hooptical.md) - [One-of-a-Kind Ceramic Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-mirror.md) - [Dynamic Structural Mirror Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bton-brut.md) - [Curvaceous Shelf-Paired Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wave-mirror.md) - [Geometrical Golden Ratio Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ascension-wall-mirror.md) - [Travel-Themed Fractured Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baggage-claim-mirrors.md) - [Sophisticated Copper Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manu-ba.md) - [Artful Custom Mirror Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portraits-collection.md) - [Artful Hanging Contemporary Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ready-to-hang.md)
