No. The appearance of EXYD-M depends on the reflected objects. EXYD-M needs “something” to reflect.

Was there anything similar before EXYD-M?
After inventing EXYD-M, we discovered that the Italian company Marzorati Ronchetti made something like this before – by hand! Unfortunately, after more than ninety company years the manufactory is no longer on the market – we would have loved to cooperate with these masters. We later learnt that we both worked 2009-2011 for the upper floors of Frankfurt's Twin Towers: they produced the wall cladding, we made the ceiling panels; and later again 2010-2012 for the business lounge of the airport in Doha: they made the furniture, we produced the cladding of the spiral staircase and the ceiling.
