IKEA Catalogue Typewriter.


IKEA Catalogue Typewriter. Browsing in the current IKEA catalogue, I stumbled upon this picture of the HEMNES" vitrine - containing a typewriter - I believe it to be a Remington Portable No. 3. The text says that we should conserve and present nice little things, which are part of our lives. maschinengeschrieben. blogspot. com Remington Portable No. 2 This awesome post was brought to you by the mighty Typosphere

A very similiar installation featuring a Letter 32 was part of the art exhibit "Barba Rosa", last summer in Zurich.

The Typewriters I Use Most.

The Typewriters I Use Most. I try to treat all my typewriters equally. I've found myself using certain ones more often than others, though. These stand out in times used for blogging: Hermes Baby Hermes 3000 Continental 340 Swissa Junior Remington Deluxe Noiseless I can think of a reason why I seem to use the Noiseless more often than other type- writers: If I write a post late at night, it is the only possibility. But I have no objective reason to favor the other ones - it must be unconscious preference. maschinengeschrieben. blogspot. com Remington Portable No. 2 This awesome post was brought to you by the mighty Typosphere

Time Tables.

Time Tables. The Continental 100 is a great typewriter, but only now, I've found a disoipline it reallv excels at: Typing timetables for train journeys. The key-set margins and tabs come in really handy! #SBB #CFF #FFS. This awesome post was brought to you by the mighty Typosphere

IX. Zurich Typehunt: Epic!

To mark the first day of ITAM, I visited a new thrift store for the first time: Brocki-Land Zurich. Just like Citroën-Garage, it was initially designed for car parking.

And this place is huge! It's probably as big as Citroën-Garage, but there's one check-out and not many independent sellers - everything is much better organised.

In a separate room, with a sign reading "Lamps", there's shelves full of printers, vacuumers - and electronic typewriters:
