Typewriters



LES MACHINES A ECRIRE
Today a BIG surprise here!

 the image above is our very first giveaway from allmodern; but, wait, don't peek yet...I'll get to that in a few moments!

For now, let me share with you a few decorative, fun, artsy, clever ways we "recycle, reuse" and in fact represent, this amazingly good looking piece of obsolete equipment and pause for a moment of silent admiration for all those typists who have slaved on them year in and year out in the past, and for those who still do. Bravo et Merci, Mesdames et Messieurs.

    I love the typewriter laptop case! It would look great in my backpack and at the library. Other great pieces that would help out my studying from the allmodern web site are Herman Miller's Eames Lounge and Ottoman that I looove (http://www.allmodern.com/Herman-Miller-%AE-ES67071-HML1154.html). My desk could also totally use the funky paper clip holder that Alessi has to offer (http://www.allmodern.com/Alessi-AMK01-AAS1057.html) and I actually really enjoy all their cute animal/creature inspired gadgets and gizmos. Thank you!
