Item description

The famous Valentine by Olivetti, designed in 1968 by Ettore Sottsass and put into production the following year. The extremely rare white version was designed for the Italian market and is practically unobtainable. The "portable red" (because the most popular version is, in fact, red) almost immediately became part of the permanent collection of the MoMA in New York and is part of the Triennale Design Museum in Milan. Curious people and time wasters refrain. Price not negotiable. Still has the original ink ribbon. Functioning.
