About Phantom II Penja-robes Màgic

Aquest penja-robes consta de quatre ganxos de fusta, una base de fusta i un suport d'acrílic transparent. L'element d'acrílic transparent crea la il·lusió que l'estructura desapareix en una habitació fosca, fent que les peces de roba semblin flotar a l'aire amb un efecte fantasmagòric. El penja-robes es pot muntar sense utilitzar cargols ni cola.

Design Challenge: The big challenge of this project was how I could bring humour in the entrance of houses. And, I came up with this coat rack idea that makes coats look floating in the air.
Research: In the beginning of the project, I did research about furniture with smart and beautiful structures. I was interested in those built with separate pieces without using screws or glues, and I liked that smart aesthetics.
Inspiration: Furniture is not just a mere component in the house, but also something staying with you for many years. That is why, I believe it's important to design simple and practical, yet humorous and playful furniture in your home to give you some comfort.
Project Duration: This work was developed in Milan in 2015.
Operation Flow: This coat rack consists of a long stick, 4 hook pieces, and a base. Everybody can build it easily by putting them together in the places without using screws or glues, and it is also easy to disassemble it.
