Cleaning by Kenya Hara Paperback Book

Description: Cleaning by Kenya Hara, Yoshihiko Ueda, Taiki Fukao, MUJI, Takuya Seki, Mariko Hara From the celebrated MUJI designer and bestselling author of 100 Whites and Designing Japan, a compact and beautifully designed guide to the art of cleaning. Cleanliness is a core value of societies around the globe. With beautiful photography and short, poetical observations, acclaimed author and designer Kenya Hara explores and illustrates the concept of cleaning in all of its aspects: sweeping, dusting, blowing, beating, washing, wiping, smoothing, raking, grooming, purifying, scrubbing, scraping, erasing, scooping, removing and clearing. From the sorting process a child applies to its toys and the meticulous attention a clockmaker pays to their creations to the impressive feat that is deep-cleaning a ship, each process is treated with the same gentle fascination. The portable book format invites readers to take this publication into the world as they look at these everyday processes with fresh eyes.

But others are everyday, such as the peeling of stickers off a road sign, or the dusting of the lights in a home.--Eliza Williams "Creative Review" Details ISBN3037787325 Author Mariko Hara Pages 504 Publisher Lars Muller Publishers ISBN-13 9783037787328 Format Paperback Imprint Lars Muller Publishers Edited by Kenya Hara Year 2023 Publication Date 2023-10-03 Place of Publication Baden Country of Publication Switzerland ISBN-10 3037787325 UK Release Date 2023-10-03 Audience General DEWEY 779.092 Illustrations 374 Illustrations Edition Description Paperback original We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
