CR Mackintosh - bookcases

new CR Mackintosh black lacquered painted single bay bookcase flanked by 2 tall cupboards, with Derngate style ornate decorative vertical rails and doors with stained glass panels

The inspiration for these bookcases is obvious to any fan of Mackintosh's work. Derngate was his last major commission and the result is still astonishing 100 years later. The living room in particular is unique, with it's black walls & woodwork and bright geo-metrical wall patterns & stained glass. It was these that inspired this range of bookcases and furniture. What would Mack have made of these, seeing his work expanded in new directions? We'll never know, but once you put work out into the world others will always see new possibilities for it, as we have done.

While the designs on this page were inspired by what was done in the Derngate living room, Mack also designed an alternate wall pattern on a light coloured background, which was equally striking, and we adapted it to some more bookcase designs shown on another page in this section.

As you can see the new designs are striking to say the least, and quite unlike any other decorated bookcases i've seen. Even as a precursor to the Art Deco style, they are more adventurous than any Deco such pieces. We shown a selection of pieces and combinations below, being modular they can be combined in various ways. We also show below how we applied the same patterns to other pieces of furniture.

The bookcases can be supplied freestanding or to be built-in, primed or finished. Bear in mind it is not usually practical to deliver completely assembled bookcases, due to access problems and the weight - they can be supplied flat packed or in sections for assembly in the room, by your own installer. Being bespoke we can make all kinds of adaptions or new pieces in this style. Made to order. We don't discuss sizes or pricing until we've agreed a design and spec with a customer.
