Discover the elegance and innovation of the Glasgow Style—Britain’s distinctive take on Art Nouveau that helped transform Glasgow into Scotland’s cultural capital in the late 19th century. Led by visionary architect and designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh, this movement blended artistic freedom, sensual design, and collaborative creativity.
This beautifully illustrated book explores Mackintosh’s work alongside a dynamic circle of designers and craftspeople who shared his influences, style, and patrons. Featuring rich colour images, archival materials, and insightful essays, it covers everything from interior design and architecture to textiles, stained glass, ceramics, and illustration.
Learn how the Glasgow Style emerged from Glasgow School of Art, where Mackintosh met the influential group known as “The Immortals,” including his future wife. The book also highlights the role of the city’s Technical Arts School in shaping a skilled creative workforce that bridged industry and art.
A celebration of design excellence, this volume reveals how the Glasgow Style shaped everyday life and left a lasting international legacy, influencing design in the United States and beyond.
