# Incomplete Elliptical Reflectors The Ego Mirror Design Looks Like Molten Metal By Gil Cohen | Published 2013-03-31 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirror-design References: [mocoloco](http://mocoloco.com/fresh2/2013/03/27/ego-mirror-by-carolina-armellini-paulo-biacchi-done.php) & [fetichedesign.br](http://fetichedesign.com.br/) The Fetiche brand design duo Carolina Armellini and Paulo Biacchi created a [limited edition mirror design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jelly-mirror) called Ego Mirror for Brazil’s Artimage gallery. Left incomplete and distorted with a stained and almost polluted look around the edges, each looking glass looks as though it is slowly melting down, trying to fill up its [elliptical frame](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suzanne-oddy). The top half is all that is left, partially intact, showing just the face and head of the viewer to put the focus on identity and self-image. Custom-made using specially formulated chemical compounds, each mirror is different than the others in the collection for a unique perspective every time. The Ego Mirror design is unconventional in its [molten design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zigzag-collection), offering a distorted personal perspective. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Distorted Mirror Designs:** Designing mirrors with distorted images and unique shapes, disrupting traditional mirror use and creating an experience. - **Customized Mirrors:** Creating unique, custom mirrors using specially formulated chemical compounds, giving each mirror a personal touch and disrupting traditional mass production. - **Limited Edition Mirrors:** Designing and producing a limited number of mirrors for exclusive distribution, creating a sense of rarity and exclusivity. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Decor:** Creating unconventional mirror designs for home decor, disrupting traditional mirror use and allowing for unique experiences in personal spaces. - **Art Collectors:** Appealing to art collectors with limited edition mirror designs, disrupting the traditional art market and offering exclusive, unique pieces. - **Interior Design:** Incorporating unique, customized mirrors into interior design, disrupting traditional decor and opening up possibilities for personalized spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Optical Illusion Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hooptical.md) - [Stunningly Bold Mirror Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bold-mirror.md) - [Sophisticated Copper Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manu-ba.md) - [One-of-a-Kind Ceramic Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-mirror.md) - [Sculpturally Artistic Copper Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manu-bano-obj08-mirrors.md) - [Artful Custom Mirror Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portraits-collection.md) - [Wavy Dual-Action Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archvyli.md) - [Travel-Themed Fractured Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baggage-claim-mirrors.md) - [Curvaceous Shelf-Paired Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wave-mirror.md)
