K67: A Relic of Slovenian Design in London

It’s impossible to miss this kiosk. A bright yellow box parked outside Spitalfields Market, looking like it had been teleported in from a 1960s sci-fi film set. This is a K67 kiosk. It’s a modular street unit designed by Slovenian architect Saša Mächtig in 1966 and one of the most successful pieces of street furniture ever produced. Thousands of these were manufactured and scattered across Yugoslavia as newspaper stands, ticket booths, and telephone kiosks. Now one sits here on Brushfield Street, stuffed with art books and posters, quietly holding its own against the glass and steel of modern London.

What caught my eye was the reflection in the window beside it. The kiosk is doubled, ghosted against the Victorian brickwork behind the glass. Three eras layered in one frame: nineteenth-century London, Cold War-era Slovenian industrial design, and the sleek commercial architecture of today. The little yellow box wins.

Final photo of Denver's East High School. It's a big building, stretching over 450 feet (135 meters) in length. This photo shows a bit more of the two symmetrical wings, which feature mid-wing octagonal towers that interrupt the long horizontal run of the wings and serve as secondary nodes and vertical accents to the central tower.

The building is also situated within a formal site plan at the foot of East 16th Avenue, with the 162-foot (49-meter) central tower being a visual terminus that can been seen from quite a distance away. The building fronts on City Park Esplanade, a City Beautiful-era landscaped parkway that connects Colfax Avenue to the southwest entrance to City Park, directly north of the school.
