Olivetti Lexikon 82 Typewriter

…the Rolls-Royce of typewriters. You can find it on display at the “Museum of Modern Art” in New York. This innovative and clever design features s Golf ball printer with a moving carriage. This was the world's first portable electric golfball typewriter. It was designed by the renowned Italian architect, interior designer and industrial product designer Mario Bellini, manufactured at Olivetti's UK factory in Glasgow (the sole production unit of the Lexikon 82 & 83 for the entire world) and designed primarily for the North American market. … It's beautifully built and has a great mid mod design to it. The dreamy two tone cream surround with black keys combined with the silver and red accents make this beauty a head turner.
