292 The Hill House 1 Chair

292 Hill House is a chair designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh for Cassina. Made in black-stained ash and seat upholstered in exclusive velvet in the colors petrol and wisteria. This chair, like all projects of the famous designer, stands halfway between a work of art and a piece of furniture, beautiful to behold but also functional. Here, Mackintosh wanted to express his mastery in one sitting symbol of artistic language. The wise use of materials and design helps to enhance a historic piece of Cassina. The piece was born as a piece of furniture for one of Mackintosh's major projects, the Hill House in Scotland, from which it takes its name. The linear and geometric shape evokes the minimal features and abstract graphics of Japanese design, integrating symbolic and figurative values into the scenic personality of the object.
