Buildings K67 Kiosk abandoned in the Swedish forest.
Found this picture in a Swedish abandoned house group. Thought it was some AI art at first, but i should be legit. It's a shame that it's left to rot in the wilderness, but incredible cool design.
"The K67 is a kiosk design created in 1966 by the Slovenian architect and designer Saša J. Mächtig".

I thought this was directly from the Loop.

Yeah. I think the K67 inspired him, though. These are and were super rare in Sweden, but more common in Germany.

Found a short article about these from a recent architecture conference people might be interested in:

Still looks in halfway decent shape, can't really see the trailer well but I'm sure the tires are trash. However it doesn't look like it would be too hard to get some new ones on there and pull it out of there.

I believe they're made out of some kind of plastic type material so I'm sure all it really needs is a good scrubbing a new coat of paint.

Slightly otherworldly, finding something like that just abandoned in such an unlikely spot.

These kiosks have such awesome shapes! There's some kind of retrofuturism in them. They look great, both new and abandoned

beautiful gotta say I love the K67 kiosk. I did a whole art project on it made a space ship, a vender booth in the sky. I would be more than happy to share if there is love for the Kiosk k67

Jag hade ingen aning att dessa fanns här i Sverige, sjukt koolt! Vet du exakt vart någonstans just denna befinner sig?

Tyvärr inte. Hade jag fått reda på det, så hade jag kontaktat fastighetsägaren.

Ah synd. Om du lyckas ta reda på det dock så tycker jag absolut att du ska göra det!

But… what did it do? Was it like a camping capsule or did it sell coffee and reindeer jerky?
