AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Ettore Sottsass, Olivetti Studio 45, Rare portable typewriter produced by Olivetti. In 1967 Olivetti replaces the semi-standard Studio 44 with the new Studio 45. Technical improvements and a new design with less rounded lines. The early versions are recognizable by the inscription “Olivetti Studio 45” on the carriage; later the inscription moves to the front of the casing. Plastic case that makes transport even easier. Produced starting from 1967.
Designer: Designed by Ettore Sottsass Jr. with the collaboration of Hans von Klier.
Materials: Made of ABS plastic.
Produced in Italy at Ivrea, first series. In the auction it is a first series, preserved and produced in Italy. It functions correctly and is accompanied by its original case. Dimensions 12 × 32.6 × 34 cm; weight of the machine 5.4 kg. Weight of the case 2 kg (case dimensions: 40 cm × 40 cm × 15 cm) for a total of 7.4 kg.
The photographs are part of the description. I do not ship to France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain and Germany. It will be carefully packaged and shipped, and with a weight of 7.4 kg it falls within the 5–10 kg range of the Italian postal service. All included in the price shown here.
Tracked shipping. Pickup from Milan is possible.
