Charles Rennie Mackintosh

Charles Rennie Mackintosh, born on 7^th 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.
