Description from the seller

It was designed in 1967 by architect and designer Ettore Sottsass, in collaboration with Hans Von Klier. The Studio 45 replaced the Olivetti Studio 44 model, which was released in 1952 and designed by

The writing machine is made of ABS and has a matching ABS suitcase. It was produced in a green-blue color with a green suitcase for transport.

The keyboard is of the QWERTY type and, in addition to the typing keys, includes a space bar, two shift keys, a caps lock key, the return key, and a tab key. The set of typing keys has an obvious omission: the zero is missing, which is obtained by pressing the O (uppercase o). Although this may seem strange today, it was quite common on old typewriters. The keys for uppercase accented vowels used in Italian writing are also missing.
Complete with original accessories and ribbon.
