m.poli metal kiosks

Munich and Madrid-based Brut Deluxe's m.poli metal kiosks are designed to look like basic archetypal houses, each with four sides and a pitched roof. The kiosks can be made in a range of steel finishes including Corten and stainless, and are textured with a scattering of small bumps. A section of wall swings upwards to create a serving windows under a shelter, which can be covered with the stall's branding. Inside they are lined with bright coloured panels and are entered through an inconspicuous door next to the window. [1]

The kiosk is designed to be used for temporary street markets or handicraft fairs. It isn’t thought of as an individual object, but as part of a whole that builds up a small village, a little world of its own fitted into the city. The design is based on archetypical images: town, house, chimney. When closed, the kiosk is a volume covered by a pitched roof, a house in its uttermost minimal expression. The scale and the shape are so basic that at first glance it might even be a toy, a Monopoly house. The City of Madrid ordered 275 units for events, but when the huts are not in use they are stored together in rows and form a small deserted town ; the perfect backdrop for a thriller. Directed by architect and photographer Miguel de Guzmán, the black and white Hitchcock-esque film was made with the kiosk designers as a promotional tool.
