The PhoneBox is a modern phone booth that was designed by Hakan Gürsu. The sleek design has a transparent enclosure and blends in perfectly with the city because of its elegant look.
A solid body design would've been incoherent with the concept, so instead, the design is nice and open emphasizing an easy access to both communication and information. The canopy can be optionally illuminated and the glass panel sides give it the phone booth modern feel. The design is meant to offer people a safe yet not isolated place to communicate amongst a crowd. The design can be used both indoors and outdoors and every unite is double sided offering two phone-booths in a smaller footprint.
