Collection: Charles Rennie Mackintosh

Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868–1928) was a legendary Scottish architect, designer, and artist who became a leading figure of the Art Nouveau movement and the father of the Glasgow Style. Blending Celtic imagery with minimalist Japanese aesthetics, his work favored elongated vertical lines, geometric grids, and stylized floral motifs like the famous "Glasgow Rose."Alongside his wife Margaret Macdonald, her sister Frances, and James Herbert MacNair—a group known as "The Four"—he revolutionized total design, creating everything from building structures to custom furniture, light fixtures, and textiles. His masterworks include the Glasgow School of Art and the Willow Tearooms. Though underappreciated in Britain during his lifetime, his avant-garde geometric furniture deeply influenced European movements like the Vienna Secession, cementing his legacy as a critical pioneer of Modernism.
