AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Olivetti typewriter model "Primavera" is an authentic symbol of Italian design from the 1970s. Famous for its compact lines and intuitive operation, Primavera has won the hearts of many writers and creatives around the world, becoming an icon of portable writing.
Light and manageable, this machine has earned recognition for the elegance of its design, presenting itself as a perfect blend of functionality and style.
Unlike the gray or black Olivetti models of the past, Primavera was produced in various colors (as in the orange version offered here), following the pop and colorful trend inaugurated by Ettore Sottsass’ Valentine.
Stored in its original case, the Olivetti Primavera is not only a writing tool but also a piece of history that evokes the passion for Italian craftsmanship with a design that reflects the era of stylistic experimentation within the company.
Don’t miss the opportunity to own a symbol of elegance and practicality.
Dimensions: 10x31.5x32 cm
The typewriter is functioning; a revision and the replacement of both ribbons are recommended for writing, as the ones currently in place have been idle for a long time.
Good cosmetic conditions – see photos which are an integral part of the description.
Fast and trackable shipping.
