Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s stained glass designs are renowned for their timeless elegance and intricate artistry. As a significant figure in the Art Nouveau movement, Mackintosh’s influence extends beyond architecture to include the exquisite stained glass windows he meticulously crafted. At Scottish Stained Glass, we draw inspiration from Mackintosh’s iconic style to create unique and captivating stained glass pieces that honor his legacy. Our bespoke designs, inspired by Mackintosh, seamlessly blend geometric precision with flowing artistic elements, bringing a touch of historical charm and sophistication to any space.
The Legacy of Charles Rennie Mackintosh
Architect, Designer, Visionary.
Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928), born in Glasgow, Scotland, was not only an architect but also a visionary designer who left an indelible mark on the world of stained glass. His work at the Glasgow School of Art, where he designed everything from the building itself to the furniture and stained glass windows, exemplifies his holistic approach to design. Mackintosh’s ability to blend geometric and organic forms has inspired countless artists and continues to influence our creations at Scottish Stained Glass.
Martin Faith, owner of Scottish Stained Glass explains,
“I grew up close to the Glasgow School of Art. Mackintosh designed the whole building including every piece of furniture and all the stained glass,” says Martin. “Mackintosh even designed the font for the lettering which is used in and around the building. The font now called Willow is also used by Scottish Stained Glass for our logos. I would encourage anyone visiting Glasgow to have tea at the Willow Tearooms in Sauchiehall Street where the multi-talented Mackintosh designed everything – including the teaspoons. I probably pay more attention to our Mackintosh designs than I do with any other design style. I want to make sure every aspect is perfect just in case he is looking over my shoulder!”
