CHARLES RENNIE MACKINTOSH - 1868-1928 holds a special place in the history of architecture and design. He is best known as the architect of the Glasgow School of Art, the Willow Team Rooms, and Hill House - all masterpieces of visual symbolism, historic reference, poetic intensity, and pure geometry.One of Mackintosh's fundamental beliefs was that art, architecture, and the crafts were one creative whole. His buildings are inseparable from what they contain, every element, however minute, is considered in relation to the whole. The result is a unique vocabulary of design and decoration that can only be described as "Mackintosh." Our Charles Rennie Mackintosh necktie collection is intended as a tribute to this prophetic architect whose influence continues to grow. A portion of the proceeds of the sale of these ties goes to assist the conservation and education programs of the Hunterian Museum & Art Gallery, University of Glasgow.book ties, neckwear, cycle ties, tye, neckwears

FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT - 1867-1959 is recognized as the 20th century's greatest architect. His buildings as well as his other commissions represent some of the world's most important architectural and design treasures. During his more than 70-year career, Wright created nearly 800 works, including his famous Prairie houses, Usonian buildings, offices and resorts, churches and temples, and finally, an art museum. In his art, Frank Lloyd Wright transformed the materials of nature into forms and spaces idealized by the human mind - creating things nearly divine.
Born of the intimate beauty of Wright's decorative details, the Frank Lloyd Wright® Neckwear Collections seek to convey Wright's monumental vision of the human spirit.
These Frank Lloyd Wright® Collection products are authorized by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, Taliesin West, Scottsdale, Arizona. A portion of the sales of these ties supports the conservation and education programs of the foundation.

Additionally, the wide spacing allows good outward visibility with less clutter to the sight line. Furthermore, they fit in well with the concept of natural ventilation, and provide excellent control of the internal environment if controlled automatically or linked to the Building Management System. |
