Manual Olivetti Linea 98 typewriter, produced in Italy from the early 1970s and designed for professional use. Solid and reliable, it belongs to the range of desk typewriters developed by Olivetti for offices, studios, and workplaces requiring durability and precision.

Made with a painted metal frame and high-quality plastic components, it stands out for its wide and comfortable keyboard, designed to ensure smooth typing even during long sessions. The design is sober, functional, and essential, typical of Olivetti’s style: every detail is meant to combine efficiency with formal care.

Although not attributed to a single designer, the Linea 98 was created within a company context of excellence, where Olivetti collaborated with renowned Italian designers such as Ettore Sottsass, Marcello Nizzoli, and Mario Bellini. This model, while an internal project, reflects the same attention to ergonomics, aesthetics, and usability.

An authentic piece of vintage design, perfect for collectors, mechanical writing enthusiasts, or to decorate a study corner with an Italian vintage touch.

The machine's ribbon is easily replaceable and can be found online without difficulty.
