# Transparent Track Reflectors Lucent Mirror Goes Clear to Opaque, Revealing its Front and Behind By Amelia Roblin | Published 2014-05-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucent-mirror References: [mocoloco](http://mocoloco.com/fresh2/2014/04/29/lucent-mirror-by-studio-wm.php) & [studiowm](http://studiowm.com) The Lucent Mirror does showcases more than just the reflective properties of its material. The looking glass may remain opaque, casting off the observer's image; however, a simple shift to the wall-mounted arrangement produces quite a different display. Studio WM. combined three basic ledge-style shelves with a circular reflector. One may assume that the generous round mirror is fixed in place, but it's actually attached to hidden tracks that permit you to slide it from left to right. This action does more than modify the setup, however, for the movement activates a halo of LEDs around the looking glass. Along with producing aesthetic intrigue and enhancing mood lighting, this feature of the Lucent Mirror causes the surface to become see-through. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 4% | 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's Driving This Trend - **Transparent Displays:** Incorporating transparent materials in electronic displays to reveal what's behind the screen could be the next wave of innovation. - **Smart Home Decor:** Integrating smart home technology into decor items, like mirrors, presents an opportunity for convenience and customization. - **Interactive Lighting:** Lighting that responds to movement and touch, as seen in the Lucent Mirror, could be expanded to other products for a more dynamic and engaging environment. ### Who This Affects Most - **Interior Design:** Designers could experiment with incorporating advanced materials and technology, like transparent displays, to create unique and functional decor. - **Smart Home:** Companies in the smart home industry could explore integrating their technology into unconventional products, such as the Lucent Mirror, to expand their offerings and appeal to new consumers. - **Lighting:** Lighting companies could pursue more interactive and unique designs, incorporating movement and touch, for a more engaging consumer experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Illusory Mirror Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirror-table-lamp.md) - [Wavy Dual-Action Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archvyli.md) - [Emotional Light Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miror-collection.md) - [Suspended Mirrored Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirror-collection-1.md) - [Reflective Material Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirroring-dialogue.md) - [Illusory Doorway Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panis-mirror.md) - [Shadow-Inspired Trays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightware-series.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)
