 The Kowal Portable Typewriter and Adding Machine was inspired by our collection of manual typewriters. These are utilitarian objects and yet are crafted with such an eye toward aesthetic appeal. I love the look, but as a writer, they were impractical for daily use. My laptop, generic silver slab that it was, sees heavy use but I wanted that typewriter elegance under my fingertips.
Then one day, I realized that I could create a custom skin and the first Kowal Portable Typewriter and Adding Machine was born. To my amazement, it does make the process of writing more pleasurable. I contribute this, in part, to the wood space bar which provides a small sensual pleasure between every word. I invite you to order a Kowal Portable for yourself and experience the difference that beautiful utility can make in your life. |
