About Phantom II Percheiro Máxico

Este percheiro está composto por catro ganchos de madeira, unha base de madeira e un soporte de acrílico transparente. O elemento de acrílico transparente crea a ilusión de que a estrutura desaparece nunha sala escura, facendo que as prendas parezan flotar no aire cun efecto fantasmal. O percheiro pódese montar sen necesidade de parafusos nin 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.
