Adolf Loos (1870 - 1933) was an Austrian architect and architecture critic. He is considered one of the pioneers of modern architecture. The Looshaus on Michaelerplatz in Vienna is particularly well known: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Looshaus
In 1902, Loos married Lina Obertimpfler, a drama student twelve years his junior and a well-known beauty in the city, and designed this bedroom for their shared flat. He was not happy with her in it for too long, however, because his wife soon began an affair with the 18-year-old gymnasium student Heinz Lang. The whole matter ended with the suicide of the gymnasium student, who fortunately did not shoot himself in this bedroom, a solid scandal in the Viennese artistic world and the divorce of Adolf and Lina Loos in June 1904.
