BuzziHood by Alain Gilles is an area for privacy that happens to look a lot like a contemporary phone booth. A mini version of the cubicles made in collaboration with Buzzispace, the hood provides a nostalgic space for people to use their cellphones or tablets without disturbing anyone in the process.
Showcased during a recent Maison & Objet exhibition, BuzziHood by Alain Gilles is made out of recycled PET bottles. Available in a slew of different colors as well as custom fabrics, these hoods can easily be placed in any commercial and work setting. Providing a cool and convenient corner just about anywhere, Gilles says it is "just like when you pull your hood on from those warm hoodies, or when you bring those high collars up from your jacket."
