Poster A1 | Newspaper Stand | Herbert Bayer

Herbert Bayer designed seven innovative advertising structures in 1924, including the newspaper kiosk and the cigarette kiosk, which are now kept in the Bauhaus Archive Berlin. These visionary designs represent forward-looking advertising techniques: large-scale color compositions, graphic symbols, and bright advertisements towered over comparatively small kiosks. Bayer also experimented with film projections, illuminated lettering, sound installations, and even letter-shaped smoke. The designs are primarily graphic visions, whose practical implementation was unrealistic at the time. Besides the newspaper kiosk, the cigarette kiosk is also available as a poster.
