# Looking Glass Slivers The For Your Eyes Only Mirror is Inspired by the Curl of an Eyelash By Meghan Young | Published 2012-06-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/for-your-eyes-only-mirror References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/for-your-eyes-only-mirror-by-bart-lens/) & [lensass.be](http://www.lensass.be/) The For Your Eyes Only Mirror is a sliver of a looking glass that focuses more on form than on function. Not made for the vain at heart, this mirror is a piece of decor rather than furniture. Put into any room, it adds more light as well as the illusion of more space, even if it is only a slice of it. Created by Belgian-based designer Bart Lens, the For Your Eyes Only Mirror is simple and delicate. The curve of the glass was crafted to mimic the curl of an eyelash. Although it is meant to be hung horizontally at eye level, the mirror can also be set vertically for [even more dynamic dimension](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zigzag-collection). Placed in [living rooms, bathrooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innovative-bathroom-mirror) or even bedrooms, the mirror is stunning to look at. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Decorative Mirrors:** Opportunity for creating unique decorative mirrors inspired by intricate design elements, like the curl of an eyelash. - **Illusion of Space:** Opportunity to develop products that create an illusion of more space, like the For Your Eyes Only Mirror. - **Vertical Hanging Mirrors:** Opportunity to design mirrors that can be hung both horizontally and vertically for added functionality and dimension. ### Where This Applies - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for interior designers to incorporate unique decorative mirrors into their designs. - **Home Decor:** Opportunity for home decor companies to offer products that create an illusion of more space, enhancing the visual appeal of living spaces. - **Furniture Design:** Opportunity for furniture designers to explore the concept of multi-functional mirrors that can be hung in different orientations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Optical Illusion Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hooptical.md) - [Illusory Doorway Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panis-mirror.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) - [Dynamic Structural Mirror Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bton-brut.md) - [Travel-Themed Fractured Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baggage-claim-mirrors.md) - [One-of-a-Kind Ceramic Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-mirror.md) - [Architecture-Inspired Compact Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/friedrich-mini.md) - [Illusory Mirror Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirror-table-lamp.md)
