Roustabout Trivan, 1963. A 3-wheeled utility vehicle which was made in Frackville, Pennsylvania. It was designed by Harry Payne who had worked on the Jeep Bantam prototype. It was launched with state aid to provide employment for out of work coalminers. There was supposed to be a contract to supply the Trivan for the postal service. However the contract never materialised and Roustabout declared bankruptcy after 137 Trivans had been produced

Milton Glaser, poster for Lexikon 83 DL Typewriter by Mario Bellini, 1979. Olivetti, Italy. 

A central interest to Glaser is the exploration between the real and unreal. Here, he brings a hand-drawn quality that blurs fine art with commercial graphic arts to strengthen Olivetti’s reputation for original and sophisticated products. Via Cooper Hewitt
