Towel Rails - Cream of art world design limited-edition towels

20/11/2007
Some of the art world's leading lights have designed a series of limited-edition towels.

Among the contemporary artists who have contributed to the Artist Towel Series are Jeff Koons, who has crafted a typically kitsch design featuring a grinning monkey, as well as Cindy Sherman, Elizabeth Peyton and Kehinde Wiley.

Retailing at around £30, the range is expected to sell out quickly and are likely to become collectors items.

All proceeds from sales of the 60-70-inch-long towels will go to the not-for-profit organisation Art Production Fund to be used for civic art projects.

Next month the towels will be the official pool towels at the Miami Beach's Ralegin Hotel - creating a kind of ad-hoc poolside gallery.

Got a designer towel? Then you'll need a designer towel rail to display it on. Happily Heat and Plumb sell an extensive range of towel rails including the Potton curved ladder towel rail and the Quinn Garda ladder towel rail, which combine up-to-the-minute styling with a wear-resistant finish and a towel-heating function.
