Description
CHARLES RENNIE MACKINTOSH (Scotland, 1868 - 1928) for ALIVAR.
Chair "292 Hill House".
Black stained ash wood and upholstered seat with fabric cover.
The lot will be available approximately 15 days after payment.
Measurements: 41 x 35 x 141 x 45 cm.
Chair designed by Mackintosh in 1903. It is one of the earliest designs of the modern movement, and was created for the sitting room of Hill House, built in 1902 in Helensburgh by Mackintosh himself. Years earlier, at the Viennese Secession Exhibition, the architect had presented a series of high-backed chairs including the Argyle, another of his most famous designs. The Hill House chair is characterised by its high back, decorated with straight forms that would later inspire the members of the Wiener Werkstätte.
Mackintosh was a Scottish architect, designer and watercolourist who played a key role in the Arts & Crafts movement and was also the leading exponent of Art Nouveau in the United Kingdom. He decided to pursue a career in architecture at the age of sixteen, and throughout his life was dedicated to transforming the buildings, furniture and art of Glasgow. Virtually all of his furniture creations were designed by Mackintosh for the tea rooms he decorated, the most famous of which was the Willow Tea Room. He rose to fame after exhibiting his pieces at the Vienna Secession exhibition of 1900. In fact, his style was one of the most prominent in the geometric version of modernism, also practised by the Viennese. His work was marked by decorative sobriety and the straight line. He shares with organic modernism the search for asymmetry and inspiration in the world of plants, but his interpretation is radically different. Most of his work can be found in the Hunterian Art Gallery at the University of Glasgow, as well as in the Metropolitan Museum and the MoMA in New York, the Orsay Museum in Paris, the Design Museum, the Tate Gallery and the Victoria & Albert in London, among others.
