Underwood
Underwood tpyewriter with Pop Art design
The ‘Underwood Typewriter Company’ was founded in 1895 and headquartered in New York City (New York). Underwood produced the first truly modern typewriter.
In 1963 Olivetti took over the company and in the 1980s the Underwood name last appeared on Olivetti portable typewriters.
Underwood is a constant in pop culture, as films like ‘Moulin Rouge’, ‘Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?’, ‘Catch Me If You Can’ refer to Underwood typewriters and authors like William Faulkner, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Jack Kerouac wrote their famous works on them.

Chainmail II
As we have been in the chainmail department, I don’t want to deny you the modern chainmail shirt of Mr. Datta Phuge. Made of gold and yours for $ 22,700.
Chainmail I
When doing the research on Art Deco, I found this chainmail necklace. Chainmail is a recurrent trend in jewelry and right now quite en vogue.
A very talented createur of chainmail jewelry is the Italian goldsmith Francesco Pavan, whose works can be found in this fabulous publication by the gallery ‘Slavik’: Art Meets Jewellery.
The gallery ‘Slavik’ focuses on international contemporary jewelry art and is located in the first district of Vienna. Its current exhibition is titled ‘A winter journey’ and works by Stefano Marchetti, Helfried Kodré, Lisa J. Defner, Jacqueline Ryan Will are on display.

Monumental
Monument in the ‘Schweizergarten’
The ‘Schweizergarten’ (Swiss Garden) is a park in the third district of Vienna, that was opened on the 5th June 1906 as ‘Maria Josefa Park’ (Maria Josefa was a member of the imperial family). The park was designed in the style of an English landscape garden.
1920 the park was renamed into its actual name. This was out of gratitude for the generous assistance of Switzerland after the end of World War I.
