Product description
Designed by Ettore Sottsass and Perry King and launched in 1969, the Olivetti Valentine is one of the most iconic typewriters ever created — a true symbol of Italian design. With its bold red ABS casing, minimalist lines, and sculptural carrying case, it was not conceived as a mere office tool, but as an assertive object: modern, playful, and designed to be taken anywhere.
An iconic object, which has been included in museum collections such as the Centre Pompidou or the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
Very good vintage condition. The original red and black two-tone ink ribbon is present.
