Smoking in public buildings was banned in France on 1 January this year, so Paris architect Florian Brillet has designed an adjustable hood to keep smokers cosy outside bars and cafes.
Smoker Bell is a helmet-like hood with integrated drinks stand, attached to a wall by an articulated arm.
“France, 1st of January…smokers get out!” writes Brillet. “This new law creates a lots of reactions (positive of course…), but also shows the need of new spaces outside bars and restaurants. SMOKER BELL is a proposal for a temporary space, which can host 2 people for coffee time and cigarette…”

Doesn’t seem vandal-proof. Once these things have been hanging outside for a few years, they’ll look like old phone booths do now; loads of graffiti and probably broken. Who would want thát hanging outside their café door?
Then again, I might be missing something really clever in the design. Please let me know if I have.

Innovative! But why will a smoker be smoking alone and drinking his drinks?
