Charles Rennie Mackintosh: The Complete Furniture, Furniture Design, and Interior Designs
The great Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh (18681928) has come to be seen as one of the most influential early modern designers. Like Frank Lloyd Wright, whom he rivals in popularity today, Mackintosh viewed the design of furniture and interiors as a vital part of his architectural work. Today, original Mackintosh pieces are fabulously expensive, but reproductions and objects based on his design ideas are still wildly popular.
This is the fourth edition of the primary reference work on Mackintosh furniture and the first time it has been in print in twenty years. Completely revised and redesigned, with new information and many new color illustrations, the book documents every surviving piece of Mackintosh furniture and every drawing, as well as his interior designs (including reconstructions of interiors that have been destroyed). This is an essential reference for collectors, art historians, designers, and anyone interested in the origins of modern design.
