Mackintosh’s Masterpiece: written and read by Yan Xia

Scottish Design Icons is a series of small articles showcasing the big hitters of Scottish design. In this one, Yan Xia tells us how one particular object, the Oak Room, evokes powerful emotions for her. This piece is part of a collaborative project with Amina MWRC to train local Muslim, Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) women as freelancers to deliver guided tours of our Scottish Design Galleries in both English and their native language.
