Mackintosh Chairs Silk Tie

DESIGNER'S NOTES

A modernist Fox & Chave silk tie with a repeat of various chair designs by the Scottish Architect and designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928).

Mackintosh chairs are often distinct for their high backs and minimalist designs in keeping with his architectural style blending Art Nouveau with a distinctive Scottish vernacular, characterised by clean lines, geometric forms, and a subtle use of natural motifs.

Example of his chair designs include:

The Argyle Chair: A high-backed chair with slender vertical slats and an elegant, elongated form, topped with an oval headrest and often featuring geometric and organic motifs.

The Willow Chair: A tall, curving chair with a semi-circular backrest and an intricate lattice pattern, often evoking a sense of fluidity and natural grace.

The Hill House Chair: Perhaps his most recognisable chair design, a minimalist, strikingly tall, grid-like backrest and simple, straight lines, emphasising verticality and elegance.

STYLING

A Fox & Chave silk tie looks best tied in a classic Windsor or half-Windsor knot and worn with a collar style of your choosing. Cutaway or spread collars offer the greatest opportunity to display the detail of your unique silk tie design.
