The typewriter in the image is an Olivetti Valentine, an icon of industrial design produced since 1969. Designed by Ettore Sottsass with Perry A. King, the Valentine stands out for its bright red color and compact, portable design . It has a simple, linear shape, with rounded edges. The Valentine name is engraved on the upper front, while the Olivetti logo is visible on the back.
Key features include:
• Red plastic shell: The Valentine is famous for its red ABS plastic casing, which made it lightweight and easy to carry, a very innovative concept for its time.
• QWERTY keyboard: Features a QWERTY mechanical keyboard, with round black keys and white letters, with a clean and minimal design.
• Hard case: In the image you can see a hard case of the same red color that was used to protect it during transport
Unfortunately the side hooks for closure are broken, therefore transport is no longer permitted with the case
The Valentine's design became a symbol of style, associated with the Pop Art movement, and its vibrant, modern appearance remains an iconic example of Italian design.
