# Mirrored Flower Vases The Narciso Collection Reflects the Beauty of Its Contents By Meghan Young | Published 2014-07-10 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/narciso-collection References: [trendland](http://trendland.com/mirrored-flower-vases/) & [giorgiazanellato.altervista.org](http://www.giorgiazanellato.altervista.org/) The Narciso collection is made up of visually striking vases inspired by the myth of Narcissus. If a modern interpretation was required, these flower holders would be front and center. Instead of being bent over a body of water for eternity as a flower, he would be placed in one of these designs, which will reflect his unnatural beauty through the use of mirrors. Designed by Giorgia Zanellato, an industrial designer hailing from Venice, Italy, the Narciso collection was created for her program at [ECAL](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hug-chair-1), [University of Art and Design Lausanne](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Ritual-based-mobile-design). The designs were made out of a mixture of materials including Borosilicate glass, powder coated aluminum and mirrored stainless steel. They come together for sleek creations. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Reflective Design:** Designers are incorporating mirrors and reflective materials into their creations to enhance visual appeal. - **Mythology-inspired Products:** Designers are finding inspiration in mythological stories and incorporating them into their product designs for a unique and meaningful touch. - **Mixed Material Creations:** Designers are experimenting with combining different materials to create visually striking and innovative products. ### Where This Applies - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can explore incorporating reflective design elements in vases and other decorative pieces to cater to modern aesthetics. - **Art and Design Education:** Art and design education institutions can encourage students to draw inspiration from mythology and create products that tell meaningful stories. - **Furniture and Interior Design:** The furniture and interior design industry can explore the use of mixed materials to create unique and eye-catching pieces that stand out in a space. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Jewelry-Holding Flower Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirror-vase-stand.md) - [Nature-Inspired Colorful Glass Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anemona.md) - [Reflective Water-Themed Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lakes-collection.md) - [Minimalist Illusory Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vaso-gota-vase.md) - [Dynamic Structural Mirror Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zigzag-collection.md) - [Geometry-Inspired Vase Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangle-vase-collection.md) - [Sculptural Glass Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/navazi.md) - [African Culture-Inspired Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mimi-shodeinde.md) - [Artful Custom Mirror Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portraits-collection.md)
