Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh is renowned for his
architectural achievements on a public and domestic scale, interior
design, and furniture design. This book reviews his work in
context, and considers how his ideas can be interpreted. His
handling of colour, use of materials, and graphic approach to form
are explored, and photographs show original designs and plans.
Inspired by nature, fired by the ideals of the Arts and Crafts
movement, rooted in the vernacular traditions of his native region,
Mackintosh's genius was to forge an entirely new style for a new
age. Radical but intensely personal, his architecture, interiors
and furnishings retain all their essential vigour nearly a century
after they were first conceived. In this compelling study Elizabeth
Wilhide considers Mackintosh's sensitive handling of colour, robust
use of materials and graphic approach to form. The abundance of
photographs of original schemes still in existence provide direct
inspiration. His items of furniture are icons of early modern
design and suppliers and listed for those currently in production.
