Charles Rennie Mackintosh designed the Highback Ingram Chair around 1910 for the White Dining Room of the Ingram Tea Rooms in Glasgow Scotland. The same model in a painted version with glass insets was used in the Mains Street flat (1901).
In 1900 Kate Cranston gave Mackintosh the opportunity to redesign an entire room, at the Ingram Street tearoom. He had just recently married the artist Margaret Macdonald, and together they created the White Dining Room, including a hallway opening onto the street and divided off by a wooden screen with leaded glass panels, giving those entering a glimpse into the room itself. The Tea Room became so popular, it was a tourist destination for those visiting Glasgow. Eleven years later, Mackintosh was to perform more work on the Tea Room creating the Cloister Room and Chinese Room.
