The Design

About Phantom II Función Principal: Perchero Mágico

Texto del Libro: Este perchero está compuesto por cuatro ganchos de madera, una base de madera y un soporte de acrílico transparente. El elemento de acrílico transparente crea la ilusión de que la estructura desaparece en una habitación oscura, haciendo que las prendas parezcan flotar en el aire con un efecto fantasmal. El perchero puede montarse sin utilizar tornillos ni pegamento.

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.
