Olivetti had a number of iconic products both from a technological and design perspective.

My favorites (in addition to the Programma 101) was the Divisumma calculator and the Valentine typewriter.

Absolutely gorgeous looks.



The Valentine is famous among the designers, but the truly popular model is the Lettera 22[1]: many journalists and writers, famous or not, used it, and of course it had a hipster revival. (Also a beautiful machine.)

That calculator reminds me of Neumorphism. Its seems like there really is nothing new under that sun.
