The Collector’s Choice for a Reliable Luxury Experience

The Olivetti Studio 45 is a trusty and reliable manual typewriter, representing a landmark achievement in industrial art. Designed by world-famous Memphis Group founder Ettore Sottsass, the Studio 45 features a bold, sculptural plastic shell that houses an incredibly robust, all-metal internal typewriter chassis. Professionally cleaned, lubricated, and tested, this machine is in excellent condition, offering a deeply satisfying, ultra-stable typing experience for serious daily writing.

Detailed Condition Note

The aesthetic is in exceptional condition, with the iconic teal-grey casing completely bright, smooth, and free of the heavy scuffs or sun-fading typical of this model. Mechanically, it is a magnificent performer. The touch is remarkably smooth, utilizing a full-sized basket mechanism that gives it the snappy, rapid action of a standard desktop machine. Every alignment has been checked, and it supports crisp dual-color ribbon switching (Black and Red). While it is not equipped with a case, its stunning architectural presence makes it the ultimate permanent anchor for a modern writer's desk.
