The phone booth was once a ubiquitous staple of civilization that gave people a way to communicate on road. But with the advent of cell phones and mobile technology, they have become less and less common, since most people do not rely on them. But what happens to all the phone booths that still dot the city streets around the world?
Many times they are simply carried out by officials of the city, but sometimes skilled artists, designers and engineers turn these old staples in unexpected artworks. Over the years, they became tiny libraries medical emergency stations, bars, Wi-Fi access points, and more. But these designers just took things to a whole new level.
Benoit Deseille Designer and artist Benedetto Bufalino together to turn an old phone booth in an impressive aquarium.

You can see more of Bufalino to work on his website. As the phone booth aquarium, much also uses everyday objects in new ways surreal. He likes to challenge our expectations. The next time you pass a payphone and wonder what will happen to it, considering all contingencies, delicious things he could become.
