I am not one for posting anything about the various design oriented blogs I read but every once in awhile something does come along that is worth sharing – this is one of those ideas, even if irritating non-smokers get their panties in a bunch. Over on Yanko Design they have a post showing the design idea and renderings of an open smoking booth called FRESH for airports .
The idea is that when the system starts up the smoke is filtered by the arm top. A resultant ‘air wall’ keeps the smoke within it and the purified air is sent out to the center of the booth from the lower part of the arm. Like I said though the chances of this ever really seeing the light of day is next to nil <sigh>.
