Design for Miss Rowat. The job books indicate that this commission was carried out, but no photographs exist to indicate how closely the executed work followed this design. A completely new motif is introduced with the wavy apron below the top shelf which provides relief to an otherwise rigidly geometrical design.

Designed as the order desk, at the Willow Tea Rooms, Glasgow. 'One of the most impressive and novel of Mackintosh's chairs, it stood in the centre of the ground floor saloons, isolated and defining the point at which the white Front Saloon became the dark Back Saloon. Designed six months before the curved screen at Hous'hill, it plays the same role in acting as a transparent division between two spaces which are actually part of the same room... The front of the seat also serves as a small locker or chest... The chest was provided for the supervisor who took orders from the waitresses and passed them to the kitchen by dropping coloured balls, coded to each dish on the menu, down a tube to the kitchen below.' (Roger Billcliffe). Reupholstered in brown horsehair 1984 (the settle was originally upholstered in a green and gold striped horsehair, matching the Willow armchairs). This item was assessed for conversation in 2010 as part of the Mackintosh Conservation and Access project (2006-2010), and then again in 2018 following the fire in the Mackintosh Building in June 2018.

This item was assessed for conservation in 2010 as part of the Mackintosh Conservation and Access Project (2006-2010). Designed for Miss Cranston's home at Hous'hill, Nitshill, Glasgow. A white table was originally placed at the window of the music room in Hous'hill. It was purchased at the 1933 exhibition and loaned to the GSA by the same family who purchased half the White Bedroom suite. In 1920 (after the death of her husband) Miss Cranston sold the property with its furniture to Mr Gamble, who took much of the furniture with him when he left. In 1927 the house was leased to John Henderson, and in 1934 extensively damaged by fire and purchased by Glasgow Corporation for demolition; all the interior fittings were destroyed. It is not known where the black table was originally used in the house, or even if it indeed came from Hous'hill.

Designed for Director's Room, Glasgow School of Art. 'This large table may well have been designed for meetings of the Board of Governors, who rarely used the original Board Room which was eventually taken over as a studio. It was designed with two high backed armchairs and twelve low backed armchairs and was photographed in 1910 in the new Board Room which Mackintosh had provided for the Governors, and not in the Director's Room for which it was designed. The square is again the dominant motif in this group of designs. The table legs are square, but they are hollow, and square cut outs in them indicate the construction.' (Roger Billcliffe).
