A little history of the K67 kiosk

I love this little piece of practical design known as the K67 kiosk. Produced mostly in Yugoslavia, this kiosk took over Europe in the mid-20th century because of its adaptability for various uses. It could be stand-alone as a newspaper stand or a small frit stand, or be connected through its modular design to become something bigger, like a make-shift or temporary police station.

Unfortunately, these were phased out slowly by the 2000s and today very few are intact.

If you’re in NYC, you can see one of these in person at the MoMA.
