The design of the typewriter was redefined in the 1930's by Italian manufacturer Olivetti. With a focus on the corporate user, he developed a rectangular space bar and strategically-placed keys. Olivetti's design is so appreciated in the art world, the MoMA added it to their permanent collection.
Because of their industrial edge, typewriters look great in a loft space or city apartment. On the other hand, they add good balance to a traditional room.
Here are some of my favorite pictures of typewriters as decor.
