Macintosh Collection by Various artists of Moorcroft. Charles Rennie Mackintosh, born in 1868, was a Scottish architect, designer, watercolourist and artist. His work was influential on European design movements such as Art Nouveau. While working in architecture Mackintosh developed his own style: a contrast between strong right angles and floral-inspired decorative motifs with subtle curves, such as the Mackintosh Rose motif. His prolific career has inspired Moorcroft’s designers to create a collection to celebrate this great man’s life and work, including designs inspired by 78 Derngate in Northampton, the only English home he designed.
