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.
