ROBERT ADAM (1728-1792) JAMES ADAM (1732-1794) The Adams brothers business started in London, focusing on designing complete schemes for the decoration and furnishing of houses. Palladian design was popular, but Robert had evolved a new, more flexible style incorporating elements of classic Roman design alongside influences from Greek, Byzantine and Baroque styles. The Adam brothers’ success can also be attributed to a desire to design everything down to the smallest detail, ensuring a sense of unity in their designs. | ||||

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 (built 1897-1909), 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. MARGARET MACDONALD - 1865 - 1933 provided the decorative arts to Charles' buildings. The result is a unique vocabulary of design and decoration that can only be described as "Mackintosh". 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. | ||||

ART DECO - was the highly colorful and playful geometric style which ruled the Paris Salons in the immediate post-WWI years – the chevrons, arcs, sunbursts, maidens, fountains, floral abstractions and ubiquitous biche (doe) – and also the crisp angular patterns, most with American modernistic impulses, including zig-zag, jazz-age, machine-age, and streamlined aesthetics, to which architects were drawn towards 1930 and to which its supporters believe the Deco label most appropriately applies. | ||||

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. There are so many beautiful Frank Lloyd Wright Neckties that he has his own page. | ||||
SANTIAGO CALATRAVA - 1951 in Valencia, Spain. As both an architect and an engineer, Calatrava easily identifies with both disciplines. He often creates innovative works that depend on a firm grasp of both the creative and structural aspects of design.

In 2001, a landmark building was completed. The Milwaukee Art Museum addition, the first US building designed by Spanish-born architect, Santiago Calatrava opened to the public. The centerpiece of this creation is a 90-foot high transparent gathering place enclosed by a light-controlling sunscreen, the brise soleil. It can be raised or lowered creating a dramatic sculpture, which the architect likened to a bird in flight. A portion of the sales of these ties supports the education programs of the Milwaukee Art Museum . |

Brise Soleil = Large Aerofoil Fins that allow a significant level of natural daylight into the building whilst reducing solar gain. 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. | ||||

All ties are new and purchased from the manufacturer except for ties with "Collector" in the title. Only these "Collector" ties have been gently used by a previous owner. Many of my customers collect ties in specific themes and I help them find treasures. Some ties were given as gifts to the wrong person and get passed on without even being worn or were manufacturer overstocks or retail remainders. Other ties might have been chosen for a specific occasion and rarely worn again. I do not know the provenance for these ties so consider them for a great price on a beautiful tie that is no longer being printed. There are no flaws or stains and any tie can be returned if you are not pleased. | ||||
