thanks for the thread. My dad restored a phone booth and put it in our kitchen when I was a kid. We loved it.
on reading the thread, I agree that functionally, our coworking site works best with a small (8' X 8') room that has a table and a handfree phone for quiet calls, teleconferences, etc. style-wise, I would go after a replica of an old British police box. I browsed and found a company that offers them at: http://www.unicornkiosks.com/ the site included a photo of a pretty innovative sculpture in Kingston, "Tumbling Telephones" here's some pix of it http://www.flickr.com/photos/anthonyfalla/3841353825/ Cheers, Garth.
