Description
The Facit Model: Globalism, Localism, Identity This book explores the rise and fall of a Swedish technology company that was once as well known as IBM or Olivetti. From its humble beginnings in 1922 to its eventual disappearance in the 1990s, the Facit brand produced a range of products including mechanical calculators, typewriters, and office furniture. Through a collection of printed materials from Facit's archives, including type specimens, manuals, advertising leaflets, and product catalogs, this book examines the culture of corporate modernism that defined the company. The result is a fascinating study of how global capitalism can shape local identity and the enduring legacy of a bygone era. The Facit Model: Globalism, Localism, Identity offers a unique insight into the world of work and the codes and forms that have shaped our modern world.
