Created as a modular and highly customisable system, K67’s can be arranged in countless configurations to create large or small spaces. By 1999, when production ceased, some 7,500 K67 units had been produced. Their flexibility saw them utilised in various ways, from security booths to newsstands. There’s a rumour that Nothing's K67 used to be a hotdog stand. K67’s can still be spotted across Eastern Europe, and many were shipped to other countries; their functionality and unique design continue to be appreciated by many. The lightweight construction of polycarbonate and fibreglass means a K67 unit can be easily lifted and positioned almost anywhere.((https://nothing.community/d/249-nothing-store-the-first-retail-space))
