Hill House chair in the style of Mackintosh for Cassina, 1980's

About the Item

This chair was made in the style of the Hill House Chair, designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh for Cassina, during the 1980's. Originally a furnishing accessory for one of Mackintosh’s major design projects, Hill House in Helensburgh, near Glasgow, Scotland, from which its name derives. The linear, geometric form is evocative of the minimal, abstract lines of Japanese graphics, which confer symbolic and figurative symbolic value to the piece’s striking visual impact. This piece is seen by many critics as not only a chair but also a veritable treatise on the way space can be articulated. The tall back is defined by a succession of vertical lines that are topped with a grid of verticals and horizontals. This model is in a black-stain ashwood, with a synthetic skin seat-cushion. In original and good vintage condition.
