Transforming Phone Booths Into Smoking Booths

Spotted on PSFK, phone booths as smoking rooms. Redesigned by Dutch telecoms operator KPN.

Next Nature shares some thoughts on the transformation:

Nonetheless, it is kind of fascinating that ‘calling’, which used to be constrained in fixed lines and locations, is now entirely mobile and it is now socially acceptable to call almost everywhere: restaurant, train, toilet, airplanes, operahouse, etc. While smoking, which used to be mobile and done everywhere, is becoming increasingly limited to designated locations.
