Phantom II: The Magical Coat Rack

A Unique and Playful Addition to Your Home

Furniture is not just a mere component in the house, but also something staying with you for many years. That is why, designer Yu Hiraoka believes it's important to design simple and practical, yet humorous and playful furniture in your home to give you some comfort.

Introducing Phantom II, a coat rack that will add a touch of magic to your home. Designed by Yu Hiraoka, this coat rack is not your ordinary storage solution. With its unique properties and innovative design, it is sure to become a conversation starter.

What sets Phantom II apart from other coat racks is its ability to create an illusion. The coat rack consists of wood hooks, a wood basement, and a clear acrylic stick. When placed in a dark room, the clear stick gives the impression that your coats are floating in the air, as if you are witnessing a phantom. It adds a touch of mystery and intrigue to your space.

But the magic doesn't stop there. Phantom II is not only visually captivating but also incredibly practical. It can be easily assembled without the need for screws or glue, making it convenient to transport, assemble, disassemble, and dispose of. Its simplicity and functionality make it a perfect addition to any home.

Phantom II is made from high-quality materials, including acrylic and walnut. Its dimensions, measuring at W304 D304 H1630 mm, make it suitable for any space, whether it's a small apartment or a spacious house.

Designer Yu Hiraoka drew inspiration from furniture with smart and beautiful structures. The challenge was to bring humor into the entrance of houses, and the idea of a coat rack that creates an illusion of floating coats was born. The result is a design that combines aesthetics, functionality, and a touch of magic.

Phantom II was developed in Milan in 2015 and has since garnered recognition for its outstanding design. It was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category in 2016. This prestigious award recognizes designs that showcase exceptional expertise, innovation, and artistic skill.

So, if you're looking to add a unique and playful touch to your home, look no further than Phantom II. With its magical illusion and practicality, it is sure to make a statement in any space.
