_Valentine
_The Olivetti 'Valentine'
Designed by Ettore Sottsass, this space-age machine, that was built in 1970, can be found in many collections of industrial design.Mechanically, the machine is not fundamentally different from the average machine that was built half a century earlier.
Today, Olivetti is the only Western company still producing manual typewriters.
And, while back in Yorkshire a few weeks ago, I found one in a thrift store for £60.00, and for some strange reason, didn't buy it. Kicking myself now though.
Gutted.
