Charles Rennie Mackintosh for Cassina

The Hill House chair by Charles R. Mackintosh is made of ebonised wood. The backrest is much higher than the upholstered seat. Our chair is upholstered in green velvet.
The original still stands in a bedroom of the "Hill House" in Helensburgh. It served Cassina as a model for the iconic chair shown here.

All Cassina "originals" bear the following indelible markings:
1. the signature of the author
2. the "Cassina" logo
3. the serial number

About the "Cassina I Maestri" Collection:

Cassina first contracted to reproduce the furniture of Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh back in 1972. From 1973, the Willow, Hill House and Argyle models were produced.

"Cassina I Maestri" is an investigation that looks closely at the original projects.
Cassina, together with heirs and collaborators, analyses drawings, sketches, prototypes and other original documents to recreate the original project as closely as possible.
Architect Filippo Alison Cassina has supported the collection since 1972, helping to bring everything together and researching new materials and technologies to reconstruct the ideas of the masters.
