Disappearing Mirrors

The Gerold Tagwerker 'Fade' Makes a Looking Glass Dissolve

Although I’ve seen my fair share of dual-use products, I’ve never thought of a mirror as one; but with the Gerold Tagwerker ‘Fade’ mirror, it can be. A very succinct and descriptive name, the mirror literally fades to reveal bright lights beneath.

Unfortunately, I don’t have much in the way of information for you. I don’t know the inspiration behind the Gerold Tagwerker ‘Fade’ mirror. Nevertheless, I think it is a very interesting concept. Do you?
