# Reflective Reinvented Lighting The Emotion Lab in Barcelona Presents the Mirror Light By Jessica Marcel | Published 2009-11-23 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirror-light References: [theemotionlab](http://www.theemotionlab.com/index.php?/urban/mirror-light/) The [Barcelona](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jal)-based Emotion Lab takes its most recent inspiration from those [mirrors on highways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zigzag-collection) that help motorists see around sharp corners. The [Mirror Light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-gym-mirror) is designed to imitate the safety mirrors, and The Emotion Lab adds a touch of modernity to an otherwise too-functional-to-be-cute idea. The Mirror Light is part of The Emotion Lab's Inside Urban series. It can be hung from the ceiling or propped up on a table. **Implications** - Appearance is highly important in the eyes of most consumers who would jump at the opportunity to gaze into a mirror, if given the chance. With that being said, products that allow consumers to embrace their visual appearances or perhaps look directly at them with mirrored details, will remain highly appealing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Reflective Lighting:** Reflective lighting designs that incorporate mirrors offer a modern and visually appealing twist on traditional lighting fixtures. - **Functional Design:** Products that combine functionality with aesthetic appeal, such as the Mirror Light, are in high demand among consumers. - **Inside Urban Series:** The Inside Urban series from The Emotion Lab showcases innovative and stylish designs for urban living spaces. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can capitalize on the trend of reflective lighting by incorporating mirror elements into their lighting designs. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can use functional and visually appealing lighting fixtures like the Mirror Light to enhance the aesthetics of their projects. - **Retail:** Retailers can attract customers by offering reflective lighting products like the Mirror Light that combine style and functionality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Suspended Mirrored Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirror-collection-1.md) - [Illusory Mirror Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirror-table-lamp.md) - [Optical Illusion Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hooptical.md) - [Mental-Health Smart Mirror Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mio-smart-mirror.md) - [Sleek Structural Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emotional-lab-light.md) - [Intelligent Illumination Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lifx-supercolor-mirror.md) - [Colorful Retro Pixel Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paint-mirror.md) - [Curvaceous Shelf-Paired Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wave-mirror.md) - [Reflective Material Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirroring-dialogue.md)
