Typewriter valentine Ettore Sottsass Olivetti made in Barcelona

A true emotional object, the red "valentine" portable by ettore sottsass and perry king, designers integrated into the italian company olivetti, is prized by the pop culture generation. Playful and efficient, this compact device is placed in a box with a handle that makes it transportable. Through its design, valentine symbolizes the casual attitude of the 1960s, while taking advantage of the innovative qualities of plastic that then invades everyday objects. Its bright color responds to the acidulous colors of furniture and clothing, while exploiting the new possibilities of molding and deformation allowed by this lightweight material. Works perfectly. Its black ribbon is operational and can be equipped with a two-tone ribbon. Very good aesthetic appearance. A real jewel to own.
