Educated at the Art Students League and the Grand Central School of Art in New York City in the 1920s, he continued expanding his aesthetic horizons with numerous trips to Europe in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Rohde's work was brought to cultural prominence when he convinced Dirk Jan De Pree, founder of the Herman Miller Furniture Company (founded 1905), which was known for producing high quality reproductions of traditional furniture styles, to begin producing his own original designs. It was with Gilbert Rohde's contract with Herman Miller that his passion for Modernism brought streamlined designs to the American home and made the firm of Herman Miller synonymous with cutting edge design. Examples of Rohde's work can be found in museums around the world including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, The Victoria and Albert Museum and the Vitra Design Museum, among others.

His work is characterized by repetitive flowing text and "x-ray" views of loosely drawn, yet tightly composed male figures; his work also includes trains, buses, angels, and an idiosyncratic documentation illustrating 'before and after' views of tonsillectomy surgery. Mackintosh's work has been exhibited internationally and most recently at Collection abcd, Paris and Gavin Brown's enterprise, New York." - Creative Growth Art Center, Oakland
