The devastated apartment was rediscovered in Pilsen in 1988, and had been consequently saved, carefully restored and re-installed in the heart of Prague. In 2014 the Apartment joined the prestigious international network of Iconic Houses of architectural design. Ever since, new unique and original works of art designed by Adolf Loos have been added to the collection, including a famous 1912 sitting set from Villa Rosenfeld, comprising four chairs and a table with a marble board. At one time, the family friend Sigmund Freud, as well as Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka and Egon Schiele, used to sit on these chairs.<br>The apartment has been successfully introduced to the public at the Adolf Loos Season exhibition at the Royal Institute of British Architects in London.<br>You can find our showcase gallery in Manes, a landmark of Prague modernist architecture.<br>For all its achievements, ALAG is not content with its results so far.
