K67 kiosk

K67 is a kiosk design which was designed in 1966 by the Slovenian architect and designer Saša J. Mächtig.

Typical red kiosk located in Poland

Design

Its system is based on polyfibre reinforced modules, which could be used as single units or combined to large agglomerations. It inhabits the cities as newspaper kiosks, parking-attendant booths, copyshops, market stands, shelter booths, chip stalls, student cafes or lottery stands, easily visible and accessible, in different colours (usually red)[1] and combinations. The unified functional design of the units enables them to fit almost any location and its context as well as numerous, diverse functions. It was manufactured by Imgrad in Ljutomer, a small Slovenian town.

History

Patented in 1967, K67 was prepared for its serial production in 1968 with the first exhibition of prototypes in Ljutomer (Slovenia).[2]
