The sleek design has a [transparent enclosure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-clear-series) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kabin) 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. **Implications** - http://www.hakangursu.com/ ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Transparent Phone Booths:** The PhoneBox offers an opportunity to innovate in designing transparent and modern phone booths. - **Portable Phone Booths:** Designing smaller and double-sided phone booths like the PhoneBox that can be used both indoors and outdoors is a promising area for innovation. - **Eco-friendly Phone Booths:** Designing phone booths like the PhoneBox that incorporate sustainable materials and energy-efficient lighting can disrupt the phone booth industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Telecommunications:** The telecommunications industry can incorporate the transparent and modern design of the PhoneBox into their service offerings. - **Architecture and Design:** Architecture and design industries can innovate in designing smaller and eco-friendly phone booths that cater to modern society's needs like the PhoneBox. - **Public Spaces and Planning:** The PhoneBox could disrupt public space planning by offering an elegant and compact communication space that is not isolated from the crowd. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modern Private Working Booths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kall-booth.md) - [Sound-Blocking Office Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/room-phone-booth.md) - [Cannery-Inspired Phone Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-boxes.md) - [Contemporary Modular Office Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kameleon-office-booth.md) - [Contemporary Office Privacy Booths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plenum-cabin-by-jaime-hayon-for-fritz-hansen.md) - [Connected Workplace Privacy Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/office-booths.md) - [Transparent Design Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nothing-phone-1-concept.md) - [Minimalist Private Office Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solarlux-soundproof-space.md) - [Visible Component Smartphone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nothing-phone-1.md)
