Designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh, year 1918 These chairs were part of the series believed to have been designed for the country home of the industrialist W.Basset Lowke (See models 800 and 809). The client proved to be difficult and the design of the table with accompanying chairs was not accepted. Roger Billcliffe, author of the definitive…
Home Designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh, year 1904 This served as the chair for the director of Miss Cranston’s Willow Tea Rooms, Glasgow. It was placed in a position between the front area and the rear area and served visually as a separating point. The grate design in the curved back appears to be a stylized tree and…

Indeed, if we try to imagine a table surrounded by chairs, we cannot avoid seeing a "tangle" of legs,…
Designer Breur, year 1929 This model is undoubtedly the work of Breuer even though he incorporated elements which were not new. The seat and back of the cane version are a clear reference to the wooden chairs of Thonet. The idea of the staright-legged cantilever is usually attributed to Mart Stam (see model 144).…
