Description from the seller
La Swissa Piccola is not just a typewriter: it is an icon of design and functionality, born in the heart of Switzerland between 1950 and 1958.
Refined evolution of the Homeland of 1936, it bore the unmistakable signature of Max Bill, Bauhaus master, who gave it an elegant and minimalist look.
Light, ultra-portable, it was the ideal companion for travelers, anticipating the era of tablets and modern netbooks.
Made with superior quality materials by Aug. Birchmeier & Söhne, it offers smooth typing on a 44-key QWERTZ or QWERTY keyboard in bakelite and a practical selector for the two-tone ribbon.
Available in its “Army Green” version, a color studied to avoid eye strain, the Swissa Piccola combines style and excellent performance.
Today, this minimalist masterpiece is a must-have for collectors and nostalgia lovers: bringing it home means owning a piece of history, functional and with timeless charm.
Don't miss the opportunity to experience the Swissa legend!
Dimensions of the Case: about 40x33.5x12.5 cm
The typewriter is equipped with its authentic carrying case. I recommend a revision for daily use of the machine as it has been idle for a long time - The machine shows signs of wear and the passage of time.
Fast and traceable shipping
