Abstract
This thesis examines the interior design collaborations of Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh with Charles Rennie Mackintosh, most notably for Kate Cranston's Ingram Street Tearooms and Willow Tearooms. By considering these works in terms of a collaborative partnership and in relationship to the concept of gesamtkunstwerk, it is argued that Macdonald possessed a larger role in the overall scheme than previously attributed. More broadly, analysis of these projects leads to a better understanding of a variety of issues that arise in their collaborative work, including not only problems of authorship and attribution but also of style, gender representation, space, and iconography.
