Designed by Alain Gilles, the BuzziHood is one of a few designs he created for Buzzispace, shown this past week at Maison & Objet.
This design is all about privacy. It reminds me of those rows of payphones in the airport except with BuzziHoods, you use your own cell phone to make calls. The hoods are designed to make you feel protected and isolated, Alain explains, “just like when you pull your hood on from those warm hoodies, or when you bring those high collars up from your jacket.”
Each hood is made from recycled fabric and available in tons of fun colors, including custom fabrics. There is also the possibility to add a special little notepad or tablet so one can easily take notes or write down a number while making a phone call.

This is awesome – except I’m only 5’0″, so I’d probably look pretty silly trying to use one :)

it’s beautifull but it is really dangerus for blind people because there’s nothing on the floor warning theme that there is something there

This is an interesting concept, but does it actually offer privacy? If anybody nearby can and must hear you on the phone, that isn’t what I want in terms of privacy, either as the person on the phone or the poor person with a nearby desk.
