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

Design

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),{{cite web|last1=d.o.o|first1=Promotim|title=Jugoslovenski retro kiosk "K67" u Berlinu|url=https://www.frontal.ba/novost/93547/jugoslovenski-retro-kiosk-k67-u-berlinu|website=www.frontal.ba|language=en}} and it is easily visible and accessible. The modular design of the units enables the K67 to fit almost any location.
