Looks like the fork and the spoon may have a run for their money since design partnership VaughShannon introduced this Walking Mirror.

The Walking Mirror looks like it's moving, even as it sits in one place. Obviously it's an [inanimate object](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirroring-dialogue), so it couldn't be moving: or could it? Check out the gallery for humorous concept drawings of the Walking Mirror from the VaughShannon Irish designers.

**Implications** - The Walking Mirror is a full-length mirror that stands on its own two feet. The idea was to create a mirror that would act as a sort of "friend reflecting an opinion." The mirror is made out of wood and would make make for a [unique piece of home decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zigzag-collection).
