Isolation space for cell phone users

For years we have joked about phone booths for cellular phones. Now there is such a thing - and from the looks of it - it’s still a joke.


The thing pictured above is called a Pentaphone.

It was designed by Robert Stadler of Austria and is intended to offer a stylish means of conducting a conversation on a cellphone without being distracted by ambient noise.

You can’t buy this product yet. It’s only a concept for now and it is likely to stay that way until people become comfortable with the idea of looking stupid under a giant helmet-like wooden dome.

That Austrian designer really needs to get out more.
