From the map of Italy to creative promotional mirrors, here are 25 of the most unusual mirrors ever designed:

Due to the fact that Cape Town is known for its drinking and driving habits, a taxi company called Rikkis launched a very creative campaign in order to convince people to take a cab a and get home safely.

Designed by Phil Sims, the Razorblade Mirror might not have such sharp edges as the actual razor blade but it sure looks similar.
