Article by: Rosario SpagnolelloAggiornato il: 28/05/2020After more than 50 years, the mythical “Rossa Portatile” Valentine typewriter designed by Ettore Sottsass and Perry A. King for Olivetti isn’t just an icon of Italian design, but a symbol of the historic moment in which it was created, between deep social, political, and cultural fractures.The Olivetti typewriter immediately became a cult object. Introduced on the market in 1969, it won the Compasso D’Oro ADI just one year later, and entered the prestigious MoMA collection the year after that.The Valentine was the first typewriter built entirely in plastic (injection molded ABS). The model's main feature was its portability and the integration of the object within its own case: the backside of the machine itself could “close” the machine, which included a handle. With two simple rubber safety devices, it was fixed to a shell that protected the machine from external blows, ready to be transported like a briefcase.
