Description
The Divisumma 18 electronic printing calculator was designed by Mario Bellini for Olivetti in 1972. The nipple like buttons are covered in a pleasingly tactile rubberised membrane and the case of the calculator is made from yellow coloured ABS. Having no display, this calculator uses a thermal print out to show the calculations. This example is complete with its charging unit which clips onto one side.
