About Phantom II Cuier magic

Acest cuier este alcătuit din patru cârlige din lemn, o bază din lemn și un suport din acril transparent. Elementul din acril transparent creează iluzia că structura dispare într-o cameră întunecată, făcând ca hainele să pară că plutesc în aer cu un efect fantomatic. Cuierul poate fi asamblat fără a folosi șuruburi sau lipici.

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.
