# Reflective Glass & Mug Designs This is [not] Collection By Ayman | Published 2008-04-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/this-is-not-collection References: [designspotter](http://www.designspotter.com/) According to designer [Jeremy Brown](http://www.jeremybrowndesign.com), **This is [not]** is a collection of work inspired by Magritte's iconic 'the treachery of images' and its inscription, 'Ceci n'est pas une pipe' (this is not a pipe). The function of the objects in This is [not] collection is shifted away from the 'functional' and more towards the reflective. The resulting [unusual designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ripples-collection) of [wine glasses and mugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bargiani) are beautiful pieces of art that may not be very practical, but very fun and exciting to use. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Reflective Glass Designs:** Exploring the use of reflective materials and designs in glassware to create unique and artistic pieces. - **Mug Design Innovation:** Pushing the boundaries of mug design to create unconventional and visually striking products. - **Functional Shift in Design:** Shifting the focus of design from practical functionality to artistic reflection and aesthetic appeal. ### Where This Applies - **Glassware and Home Decor:** Innovations in reflective glass designs can create new opportunities in the glassware and home decor industry. - **Art and Design:** These unconventional mug designs offer opportunities for disruptive innovation in the art and design industry. - **Hospitality and Entertainment:** The use of unique and visually striking glassware can enhance the customer experience in the hospitality and entertainment industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Glass Geometry Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-collection.md) - [Captivating Tonal Drinking Glassware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/podio-cup.md) - [Wabi-Sabi-Informed Green Glassware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-glassware.md) - [Glass Surfaced Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illusion-collection.md) - [Artful Custom Mirror Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portraits-collection.md) - [Reflective Water-Themed Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lakes-collection.md) - [Glass Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cassina-2.md) - [Statement Glass Curvaceous Glassware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juno-collection.md) - [Dynamic Structural Mirror Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zigzag-collection.md)
