Hauntingly creative is the term that best describes the Fading Mirror. The Fading Mirror works just like a normal mirror with the exception that the mirror image becomes blurrier the farther it gets from the center.
The Fading Mirror was designed by Amsterdam-based designer Thomas Eurlings. The mirror is made with a printed gradient underneath the class. This extra layer gives the design its uniquely fuzzy look. This design looks to be done as art for the sake of art, but I could see it being popular outside of galleries. Design aficionados and even normal consumers are always looking for a quick and easy way to add some spice to their homes. A mirror that doesn't draw too much attention to itself until looked into would go well with today's modern and minimalist homes.
