About Phantom II 神奇衣帽架

呢個衣帽架由四個木掛鈎、一個木底座同一支透明亞加力支撐柱組成。透明嘅亞加力元件營造出一種錯覺，喺黑暗嘅房間入面成個結構好似消失咗咁，令衣物好似浮喺半空中，帶有幽靈般嘅效果。呢個衣帽架毋須用螺絲或者膠水都可以組裝起嚟。

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.
