Charles Rennie Mackintosh 292 Hill House Chair By Cassina UZ0194603

Product Details

Product Description

Originally designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1902, this chair has been relaunched by Cassina in Italy in 1973. This iconic piece reflects the designer’s bold and innovative approach to manufacturing processes. Originally created for Hill House in Helensburgh, Scotland, the chair’s linear, geometric form is reminiscent of Japanese graphics, imbuing the piece with symbolic and figurative value. Some critics view the chair not only as a functional piece of furniture, but also as a treatise on how space can be articulated. With a tall back defined by a succession of vertical lines topped with a grid of vertical and horizontal lines, the chair is an accomplished piece of furniture making. Cassina has reissued the Hill House chair in black-stained ashwood, with a velvet seat cushion. Please note that some images show different colors and variations of the model, and are meant to offer interior design ideas. The product that is being sold is depicted in the first image. Also, please be aware that actual colors may vary slightly from what you see on your device due to the differences in individuals’ monitors. Charles Rennie Mackintosh was a Scottish architect, designer, watercolorist, and artist who became a leading figure in the Art Nouveau movement in the United Kingdom. He was born in Glasgow and passed away in London. In 1890, Mackintosh was the second winner of the Alexander Thomson Travelling Studentship, which supported the study of ancient Classic architecture. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City held a major retrospective exhibition of Mackintosh's works in 1996-1997. The exhibition included lectures and symposiums by experts and documentaries on the designer.
