Charles
Rennie Mackintosh, born on 7th June 1868 in Glasgow is a Scottish
architect, designer, water-colourist and artist. He died on 10th December 1928
in London from throat and tongue cancer at the age of 60. He did his designs
from Arts and Crafts movement and Art Nouveau.
In 1899, he works
for the Honey man and Keppie architectural practice where he first started his major
architectural project, the Glasgow Herald Building. After he completed his several
building designs, he then became a partner of them in 1907, when his economic
hardships were caused by many architectural practices to close in 1913.
He got resigned
by them and was attempted to open his own practice. On his extended holiday in
Suffolk he started painting his designs with many floral watercolours, he then moved
to London where he continued to paint and design textile designs. In 1916, he
received a commission to redesign the home of W.J. Bassett-Lowke with his architectural
and interior design project.
This is Charles Rennie Mackintosh chair design called the willow chair. I
chose this chair because he designed this chair in style of Art Nouveau and he
included shapes and patterns in his chair. He made the seat and backrest of this
chair as a semi-circle.
