Disseny Hub Barcelona hosts this exhibition focusing on the Frankfurt Kitchen, created in 1926 by the Austrian architect Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky. The route explores how this design became an exponent of the scientific organisation of work, social policies and the rationalist principles of the modernist movement in the domestic sphere.

Through pieces of industrial, graphic and architectural design, the visit shows the application of industrial production methods in the home. The exhibition examines the redefinition of housework, the social role of women and the debates surrounding efficiency and emancipation arising from these approaches to housing.
