Wearable cellbooth

This is a funny one. Jenny Chowdhury got nostalgic of the old-fashioned Cell Atlantic phone booth. And she used this feeling to recreate the contemporary or so mobile cellbooth.

“Now, we talk on cell phones everywhere we go, disregarding issues of privacy (and also those of curteousy). People often don’t care if others hear their end of the conversation. In fact, we can often hear both sides of the conversation when the cell phone is especially loud.”

Practicality: none. Usability: almost none ― you can use the bag to carry your groceries. But that’s why we like those ideas. It doesn’t matter anyway, “I desired to recreate the illusion of privacy and stillness afforded by oldschool, 4-walled phone booths, but also to update the booth as a portable object that would fit into a modern life.”
