Architect and designer Saša Mächtig is an icon of Slovenian industrial design, world-famous mainly for the famous “red kiosk”.

Saša Machtig created the “red kiosk” K67 in 1967 in the spirit of the 1960s and the first flight to the moon. The visionary universal mounting system and modularly assembled Kiosk K67 has marked urban environments and lifestyles here, in our places, and elsewhere in the world. At the beginning of the new century, it was revived at two important events in New York: first at the exhibition “Towards a Concrete Utopia: Architecture in Yugoslavia 1948 -1980” in 2018, and as an information center at the NYCxDESIGN event in Times Square a year later . He impressed many professionals and visitors.
The film’s portrait follows Saša Mächtig as part of the exciting and inspiring Alpe Adria cycle path from Salzburg to Grado and across the Karst. This common and interdependent space of culture and history is also the space of the creative engineering spirits of the ancestors. This, as well as studying with Professor Ravnikar and the famous Yugoslav red passport, which gave him a sense of free decision-making and curiosity, shaped him at a young age for great feats. By organizing the prestigious World Congress of Industrial Design ICSID “At the Crossroads / World of Change” in Ljubljana in 1991, he wanted to put Slovenia on the world map. His motto is that with imagination and will everything is possible. The new K21 project, an interactive self-sufficient multi-purpose kiosk for the twenty-first century, with advanced technological solutions embodies the idea that design is a matter of change and already paints a picture of the future and timelessness in Mächtig’s works.
