Glasgow Style
Glasgow Style is an artistic movement that emerged in the late 19th century, primarily associated with the city of Glasgow, Scotland. It is characterized by its unique blend of decorative arts, architecture, and design, often featuring intricate patterns, bold colors, and organic forms. The movement was heavily influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement and the Art Nouveau style, emphasizing craftsmanship and the beauty of everyday objects.
Key figures in the Glasgow Style include designers like Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his contemporaries, who sought to create a distinct Scottish identity in art and design. Their work often incorporated floral motifs and geometric shapes, reflecting a harmony between nature and modernity. The style remains influential in contemporary design and is celebrated for its innovative approach to aesthetics.
