Perry King (born in London in 1938) had studied Industrial Design in Great Britain, in Birmingham, but had settled in Italy since 1964, becoming one of the most appreciated figures - professionally and humanly - in the world of Italian design. A consultant for Olivetti, he had worked on numerous products, the most famous of which, designed with Ettore Sottsass, was the Valentine typewriter. Later becoming Olivetti's corporate image coordinator, he had designed the typefaces of the machines produced by the company and designed books and posters. With Santiago Miranda, whom he met during this period, he founded the King-Miranda Associati studio in Milan in 1976, currently a member of ADI. Together King and Miranda are the authors of numerous projects, from furnishing accessories to furniture, lamps, office chairs and technological appliances such as dehumidifiers, radiators and air conditioners. Their work in the studio's early development phase is collected in Gianni Barbacetto's book Interface design (1987).
