# Narcissistic Desks Narcissus is a Mirror Top Desk That's Ideal for Gazing at Yourself By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-07-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirror-top-desk References: [mocoloco](http://mocoloco.com/fresh2/2014/07/21/the-narcissus-desk-by-sebastian-errazuriz.php) & [meetsebastian](http://www.meetsebastian.com/) Sebastian Errazuriz' 'Narcissus' mirror top desk is a modified version of [a French furniture piece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/single-desk) from the 1880s that's better suited to staring longingly at yourself. In addition to adding a [mirrored surface](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-view-chair) to the top of the desk, Errazuriz cut a semi-circle out of the desk, making an indentation so that narcissists can get up close and personal to the [looking glass surface](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paint-mirror). For the creation of this piece, Errazuriz took inspiration from our narcissistic, selfie-taking, image-obsessed culture. He describes: "I believe today we are becoming like Narcissus; so obsessed with our own perfectly edited online self that we forget to be aware of the real 'me' outside the screen." When sitting at the desk, a person appears like a character on a playing card, totally surrounded by themselves. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Self-reflective Furniture:** The Narcissus desk reflects a trend of furniture designed to encourage self-reflection and introspection. - **Mirror Surface Enhancements:** The use of mirrored surfaces in furniture is a growing trend, allowing individuals to easily view themselves from multiple angles. - **Narcissism-inspired Design:** Designs inspired by narcissistic tendencies and the selfie culture are gaining popularity in furniture and decor. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** The Narcissus desk demonstrates an opportunity for furniture manufacturers to create unique and captivating pieces that cater to consumers' desire for self-reflection. - **Interior Design:** Incorporating self-reflective furniture into interior design offers professionals the chance to create visually stunning spaces that promote introspection and mindfulness. - **Home Decor Retail:** Retailers specializing in home decor can tap into the narcissism-inspired design trend by offering a selection of aesthetically appealing and reflective furnishings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hyper-Customizable Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hypercustomizable-desk.md) - [Employee Personalization Workstation Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zedo-desk.md) - [Ultra-Chic Wall Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wall-desks.md) - [Minimalist Monochromatic Desk Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arqus-desk.md) - [Floating Architectural Desk Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1949-protractor-desk.md) - [Minimalist Gradient Glass Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-desk.md) - [Sleek Storage-Packed Workstations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threesix-desk.md) - [Rest-Supportive Desk Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lazy-concept.md) - [Elegant Working Desk Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindset-builtin-computer-desk.md)
