Charles Rennie Mackintosh Furniture Designs

Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928) was an influential Scottish architect, designer, and artist known for his distinctive contribution to the Art Nouveau movement. He began his career after studying at the Glasgow School of Art, where he later designed its iconic building. Mackintosh is recognized for his holistic approach to design, exemplified in projects like the Hill House (1902-1904), where he designed every detail from the architecture to the finishes, the furniture, and even silverware. His furniture designs, including the high-backed Hill House 1 chair (1902), feature striking geometric forms and stylized natural motifs. Mackintosh's work blends architecture and interior design and has left a lasting impact on the development of modern design.
