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

Design

[edit]

The design is based on polyfibre reinforced modules, which can be used as single units or combined to large agglomerations. It can serve many different functions; throughout its history it has been used for newspaper kiosks, parking-attendant booths, copyshops, market stands, shelter booths, chip stalls, student cafes, and lottery stands. It appears in different colour combinations (red is the most common),[1] and it is easily visible and accessible. The modular design of the units enables the K67 to fit almost any location.

History

[edit]

Patented in 1967, K67 was prepared for serial production in 1968 with the first exhibition of prototypes in Ljutomer, Slovenia.[2] It was manufactured by the Imgrad factory in Ljutomer.
