In 1959, the Museum of Modern Art in New York added the Olivetti Lettera 22 to its permanent collection — not as a curiosity, but as a masterpiece of industrial design. Designed by Marcello Nizzoli, it was the typewriter that redefined what a portable machine could be: light enough to carry anywhere, precise enough for professional use, beautiful enough to deserve a place in a museum.

Includes a new ribbon, but may need to be lightly serviced before using.

Leonard Cohen famously used an Olivetti Lettera 22 portable typewriter, which served as his treasured literary companion during the creation of many early poems and novels.
