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..."
looks like a pod to get your hair did.
miam florian! ca va être chauffé?
Great. Now, can we design one for cars? And ugly people?
seems like it would start to smell after a while…
I LOVE IT!! great idea – I’ll be interested to see how the many businesses decide to use this :-)
stylish AND functional, yay I’d use one.

cough fuckwit cough
@lello its essientially an umbrella to be used outdoors, how is it gonna smell ?
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.
Obviously this website is not preekproof !
Innovative! But why will a smoker be smoking alone and drinking his drinks?
Interesting. At first glance, I thought it belonged in a hair salon.
even better, put a couple of these indoors and vent to outside. a smoking section with positive vacuum out to keep the smoke from drifting to the rest of the bar, office, house?
