Good design is…
We designers, we don’t work in a vacuum. We need business people. We are not the fine artists we are often confused with. Today you find few companies that take design seriously, as I see it.”
— Dieter Rams
Ladder Back Chair - Hight Back Chair - The Hill House Chair
When I was studing Industrial Design, my favorite class was History of Design. In this class I learned about all the different movements of design throughout history. There I was introduced for the first time to all the famous designers and architects of all time and their most extraordinary and iconic designs of the 20th century.
I’ll start with a series of posts about these designers and their extraordinary work.
My first post is dedicated to the Scottish designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh and one of his most famous chairs.
The Ladder Back Chair.
From the minute I saw this chair I fell in love with it, and this love still remains with me.
This chair was designed by Mackintosh on 1903 for the Hill House, it is a chair in dark wood, designed into geometrical shapes, perpendicular delicate lines and a tall ladder back.
My passions, Design, Art, History, Culture, Technology, Furniture, Music.
I believe, that all the talent that is out there deserves to be
exposed and shared. My mission: Discover all this amazing material and
bring it to you.
