{"product_id":"tea-towel","title":"Tea Towel","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe dishwasher has robbed the good old kitchen towel of some of its practical significance. Nevertheless, it remains present in many households, hand-woven or industrially produced, lint-free or absorbent, dirty or clean, inherited or replaceable. In some kitchens, special attention is also required, as there is one for the hands and one for the dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a long time, specially made kitchen towels were a luxury and reserved for the upper classes. Industrial mass production has changed this, and today two developments can be observed: while kitchen towels are displayed as design objects in museum stores and craft stores, they are also standardised cheap goods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Tea Towel: Perspectives on an Everyday Item\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, 13 authors, artists, and designers enter into a dialogue with the object and examine it from a literary, journalistic, artistic, technical, and socio-political perspective. The contributions of very different tones complement each other and create new references. In text and images, the book encourages a rediscovery of the everyday kitchen towel as a sensual object with which many socially relevant topics are associated.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scheidegger und Spiess AG, Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55503576990040,"sku":"9783039422814","price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9783039422814.jpg?v=1777986040","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/tea-towel","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
