Olivetti Valentine red typewriter

A true emotional object, the red “valentine” laptop by ettore sottsass and perry king, designers working for the italian company olivetti, is prized by the pop culture generation. Fun and efficient, this compact device is placed in a box equipped with a handle which makes it transportable. Through its design, valentine symbolizes the casual attitude of the 1960s, while taking advantage of the innovative qualities of plastic which then invaded everyday objects. Its bright color responds to the tangy colors of furniture and clothing, while exploiting the new possibilities of molding and deformation allowed by this light material. Works perfectly new ribbon.
