Ettore Sottsass - Olivetti, Lettera DL DeLuxe - Typewriter - 1960-1970

I’m selling the iconic Olivetti Lettera DL (De Luxe) portable typewriter, a masterpiece of Italian industrial design designed in the 1960s by architect and design explorer Ettore Sottsass.

Characterized by its unmistakable gray/silver case with embossed black vinyl inserts and a black QZERTY keyboard with red details, it is an elegant, refined variant of the classic Lettera 32 mechanical.
