Rennie Mackintosh History / Background

Charles Rennie Mackintosh worked closely with his wife, Margaret Macdonald: she apparently was primarily involved in the interiors.

Charles Rennie Mackintosh was born Glasgow in 1868. Mackintosh enrolled at the Glasgow School of Art at the age of fifteen. A year later he joined John Hutchison Architects as an apprentice. After completing his apprenticeship he moved to Honeymann & Keppie Architects in 1889.

Mackintosh continued his studies at Glasgow School of Art. Whilst studying at the Glasgow School of Art Mackintosh was introduced to two sisters - Frances & Margaret Macdonald. Daughters of a Scottish mother & English father, they had settled in Glasgow. Mackintosh together with his friend Herbie MacNair formed an artistic alliance with Frances Macdonald & Margaret Macdonald: they became known as the 'Glasgow Four', and their Art Nouveau-inspired work became the hub of the 'Glasgow Style'.

In 1900 Mackintosh married Margaret Macdonald. In 1896, Mackintosh met Miss Catherine Cranston, a local Glasgow businesswoman with a firm belief in Temperance. Kate Cranston wished to create a series of 'art tearooms' in Glasgow. From 1897 to 1917 Mackintosh designed or restyled rooms in all four of Kate Cranston’s Glasgow tearooms.
