Built Booth

Telephone Booth

A little bit London, a lot of photo op. A British-style telephone box reimagined as a walk-in photo booth — thirty inches square and seven and a half feet tall, cut from 3/4″ plywood and finished in crisp black and white.

The details are the whole point. The crown crest up top was CNC-cut twice — because the details are what sell it — and lattice panes wrap all four sides. Inside, a florals-and-neon glow-up turns a phone box into a scene: you said photo booth, we heard the whole set.

Built for a private client to be stepped into, not just stood beside — the kind of showpiece guests line up for. File it under weird, wonderful, and very much on the menu.
