New Collaboration :: SOLARBOX and ICR (The PhoneBox Project)

We're collaborating with Solarbox as their Community and City Engagement Partners to bring disused phonebox structures back into the lives of London through stories and secrets.

Solarbox is a social enterprise funded by UnLtd, LSE Entrepreneurship and Siemens led by the affable Kirsty Kenney and Harold Craston to turn phoneboxes into solar charging points for mobile phones on the go. It's a simple idea that London's needed for a while now!

Our work at the studio is centred around making meaning and the PhoneBox Project ties in simply into the SolarBox fold. Our installations of stories on the glass as well as screen captions allow the user to discover the neighbourhood and its histories while they wait for the phone to charge.

There's many and more to come! Watch this space.

In order to convince the LFA committee and BT of our project and intentions, here's some of the renders we came up with. The actual installations look fairly similar, much to our delight and have been spotted and spoken of on many a newsfeed recently! Looking forward to hearing from more discoverers!
