What is Adolf Loos famous for?
1 Answer
Adolf Loos is famous for his achievements as a designer. Essentially dubbed the Frank Lloyd Wright of Europe by Wright himself, he possessed a talent for architecture and interior design as potent as his outspoken criticism of Art Nouveau and excessive ornamentation. A forerunner of the International Style, Loos exercised immense restraint in his building projects as well as his designs for chairs, tables, storage pieces and other furniture. He wrote prolifically on his disdain for taking a decorative approach to architecture. Explore a variety of Adolf Loos furniture on 1stDibs.
