Product description
The Willow 1 is one of the most famous furniture icons of the 20th century, designed in 1904 by Charles Rennie Mackintosh for the famous Willow Tearooms in Glasgow.
This rare collector's item comes from an early, licensed edition from the 1970s, produced by the Italian manufacturer Cassina according to the original measurements of the Glasgow School of Art. It bears the engraved serial number 622 and is therefore part of a limited, numbered edition.
The ebonized ash construction stands out with its striking, semi-circular curved backrest with a precisely crafted lattice structure, which gives the design its unmistakable architectural presence. Under the upholstered seat, which is fitted with the original, light-colored fabric cushion, there is a practical storage compartment that has been elegantly integrated into the design.
This piece is supplied together with the original Cassina info card, which documents its authenticity and provenance.
This numbered version from the 1970s is particularly sought-after as it combines Cassina's high quality workmanship with the faithful reproduction of the original historical design. The combination of a low serial number, complete documentation and excellent condition makes this piece of furniture a valuable collector's item for design enthusiasts.
