A Closer Look at the Work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh
As the leading stained glass studio in San Antonio, we’re often asked who our stained glass inspirations are. While we do draw inspiration from numerous stained glass artisans, interior designers, architects, and artists from around the world and throughout history, one of our favorites is Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Charles Rennie Mackintosh is a Scottish architect, designer, and artist who is popularly known throughout Scotland and the world for his impressive architectural feats.
Charles Rennie Mackintosh Stained Glass Inspiration
Charles Rennie Mackintosh was an accomplished architect that built incredible, iconic buildings throughout Scotland. He would design every component of the property including the interior design and stained glass windows. The beautiful stained glass he would create to curate these custom built properties has continued to offer inspiration for current buildings. Known most popularly for his stained glass representation of the rose, this design is often referred to as the “Glasglow Rose”. These abstract roses offer brilliant colors and curved lines for a distinct look. Often using a square-shaped stained glass window, Mackintosh stained glass incorporates both Mission Style and Art Nouveau styled stained glass. The geometric combined with free-flow styling is a unique approach to stained glass that has inspired thousands of stained glass artists around the world.
