Adolf Loos was one of the most influential European architects of the late 19th century and is often noted for his literary discourse that foreshadowed the foundations of the entire modernist movement. Adolf Loos’s minimalist attitudes are reflected in the works of Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, and many other modernists and led to a fundamental shift in the way architects perceived ornamentation. (Bibliography: ArchDaily)
Around 1900, Adolf Loos usually met in the bars of Vienna with a number of thinkers and artists who were revolutionizing European thought and art from a decaying Austro-Hungarian Empire, people like the painter Oskar Kokoschka, the doctor Sigmund Freud, the journalist Karl Kraus, the poet Peter Altenberg, the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, or the musician Arnold Schönberg. Throughout his career, Loos designed three of these Viennese bars.
Ornated with stylish Art Deco decorations and provided with a mirror, this is a practical yet chic coat rack that enhances both convenience and aesthetic appeal, ensuring you step out in style every time.
