House for an Art Lover
In 1994 Bruce was commissioned to produce the Dining Room Furniture for The House for an Art Lover. The plans for the house – which Mackintosh had originally presented in 1903 – had remained on paper for 90 years before the building was realised in Bellahouston Park Glasgow. This Gallery features various images of the Dining Furniture in the Art Lovers House and images of subsequent Art Lovers’ commissions that have completed.
Glasgow School of art
In 2003 Bruce received a commission for six replacement chairs for the Director’s Room at the Glasgow School of Art. The originals had been in daily use since 1904 and were showing severe signs of wear and tear.
In 2007 Bruce was then commissioned to produce twelve Board Room Chairs to replace the originals as it was decided to protect the original chairs within the Mackintosh museum. This was the first time that the furniture had been replaced in the lifetime of the Mackintosh building at the GSA. Bruce was honoured to have been asked to undertake such a notable work and he is particularly proud of these commissions.

Tearooms
This gallery showcases pieces that were originally produced in the 1990’s. Bruce subsequently made High Back Ingram chairs and Chinese chairs for the Mackintosh Willow Tearooms on Buchanan Street in Glasgow. The gallery also shows more recent images of the furniture that Bruce made for the reconstruction of the Mackintosh at the Willow in 2018.

Testimonials
You recently made me an Ingram high back chair which was for my wife’s 60th birthday. I would just like to say how pleased I am with it. Not only are we pleased with the chair, but we are both impressed with your skills as a craftsman. Once again thanks for a great job, and thanks for making her birthday so special.
