Charles Rennie Mackintosh fu uno dei talenti più creativi
del suo tempo. Studiò alla Glasgow School of Art, fu apprendista
presso l’architetto John Hutchinson prima di unirsi ad Honeyman
and Keppie. Lo spirito della sua opera è racchiuso nella sua
opera principale, la Glasgow School of Art. Qui possiamo vedere
lo sviluppo della sua carriera dall’influenza Art Noveau sino
al purismo geometrico del Modernismo. I suoi progetti
di mobili sono considerati i più geniali e all’avanguardia
tra tutti i mobili britannici dell’epoca.
