MACKINTOSH CHAIRS SILK TIE

DESIGNER'S NOTES

This modernist Fox & Chave silk tie features a repeat pattern inspired by the iconic chair designs of Scottish architect and designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868–1928).

Mackintosh’s chairs are celebrated for their high backs, clean lines, and minimalist forms, reflecting his signature blend of Art Nouveau influences with a distinctive Scottish vernacular. His work is characterised by geometric shapes, elegant proportions, and subtle natural motifs.

Notable chair designs reflected in this pattern include:

The Argyle Chair
A tall, high-backed chair with slender vertical slats, an elongated silhouette, and an oval headrest, often featuring both geometric and organic detailing.

The Willow Chair
A curving, semi-circular high-backed chair with an intricate lattice design, evoking fluidity, movement, and natural grace.

The Hill House Chair
Perhaps Mackintosh’s most recognisable design — a minimalist, dramatically tall chair with a grid-like backrest and sharply defined lines that emphasise structure and elegance.

STYLING

A Fox & Chave silk tie looks best tied in a classic Windsor or half-Windsor knot and paired with the collar style of your choice. Cutaway or spread collars offer the ideal frame to showcase the detailed design of this unique silk tie.
