Description:
This model is similar (even in its color) to the one chosen by the Maestro Umberto Eco as his personal typewriter.
Very nice to use (perhaps it requires determination in your fingertips) and incredibly heavy (let's consider it is a "portable" model whose case have a handle in order to move easily the typewriter with you.... well, not just your fingertips require determination, but your arms too!!!)
The wedgy design of this model was followed by dozens of electronic "wedge" typewriters.
Its designers were Ettore Sottsass & Hans Von Klier.
