The Glasgow Style

The Glasgow Style is an elegant design movement from the early 1900s, associated with architects and designers like Charles Rennie Mackintosh. It combines Arts and Crafts ideas with modern ideas, emphasizing clean lines, geometric shapes, and a monochromatic color palette, mainly black, white, and gray. Inspired by nature and Japanese art, it features stylized floral motifs and simple, functional furniture. This style aimed to create beauty through simplicity and craftsmanship, reflecting a contemporary yet timeless aesthetic that balanced artistry with practicality, and remains influential in design today.
