The Design
About Phantom II Primary Function: Magisk Knaggrekke
Book Text: Denne knaggrekken består av fire treknagger, en trebase og en klar akrylstøtte. Det transparente akrylelementet skaper illusjonen av at strukturen forsvinner i et mørkt rom, slik at klærne ser ut til å sveve fritt i luften med en spøkelsesaktig effekt. Knaggrekken kan monteres uten bruk av skruer eller lim.

- 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.
