About Phantom II Foncion Principala: Penjador Magic

Aqueste penjador se compausa de quatre ganchos de fusta, d'una basa de fusta e d'un supòrt d'acrilic transparent. L'element acrilic transparent crèa l'illusion que l'estructura despareis dins una cambra escura, fasent que los vestits semblen flotar dins l'aire amb un efièch fantomatic. Lo penjador se pòt montar sens utilizar vises ni còla.

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.
