# Dimensional Wall Mirrors Mario Tsai Desgined the Two Halves Mirror for Grado By Amy Duong | Published 2018-01-29 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/two-halves-mirror References: [design-milk](https://design-milk.com/two-halves-mirror-designed-by-mario-tsai-for-grado/) & [mariotsai.studio](http://www.mariotsai.studio/) Mario Tsai's latest project is his work for Grado called the 'Two Halves Mirror.' It is a decorative piece that explores the dimensions of space through the change of lighting and shadows. Mounted to a wall, the Two Halves mirror branches off in a bent approach to become a three-dimensional piece. Held by two bars, the oval frame embraces the mirror between, pushing the mirror out from the wall. The Two Halves Mirror is designed to also function as a shelf and as a hanging area for umbrellas, scarves or hangers. The shelf is made from grid-detailed steel and the bent-extension serves as a place to hang items. Mario Tsai plays with lighting and shadows with this multi-functional piece. Based upon where the light hits, it can alter the form and give illusions of different dimensions to the mirror. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Three-dimensional Mirrors:** The trend of three-dimensional mirrors offers opportunities for designers to create innovative and visually striking decorative pieces that play with light and shadows. - **Multi-functional Home Decor:** The trend of multi-functional home decor allows designers to merge practicality and aesthetics, providing consumers with versatile products that serve multiple purposes. - **Illusionary Design Elements:** The trend of incorporating illusionary design elements in mirrors opens up possibilities for creating captivating and visually dynamic pieces that challenge perceptions of space. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Furnishings:** The home furnishings industry can capitalize on the trend of three-dimensional mirrors by offering unique and visually intriguing options to consumers. - **Design and Decor:** The design and decor industry can leverage the trend of multi-functional home decor by creating innovative products that seamlessly blend functionality and style. - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can explore the trend of incorporating illusionary design elements in mirrors to create captivating visual experiences and transform spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Geometrical Golden Ratio Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ascension-wall-mirror.md) - [Wavy Dual-Action Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archvyli.md) - [Dynamic Structural Mirror Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bton-brut.md) - [Illusory Doorway Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panis-mirror.md) - [Bifold Functional Storage Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cabine-mirror.md) - [Optical Illusion Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hooptical.md) - [Suspended Mirrored Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirror-collection-1.md) - [Artful Custom Mirror Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portraits-collection.md) - [Sculpturally Artistic Copper Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manu-bano-obj08-mirrors.md)
