Paul László (1900–1993) was born in Debrecen, Hungary. He studied
architecture and design at the National Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart before joining the office of the German architect Fritz August Breuhaus (1883–1960) in Cologne. The period was marked by intense debate, as a new generation of architects called for a decisive break with past styles. László settled in Vienna in 1924, where he opened his own agency. He was regarded as one of the leading architects of the period, alongside Hans Stock, Theodor Pfeiffer, Franz Kuhn, and others. He designed and decorated numerous private residences, including the Kopfensteiner House in Vienna and the Atlantica Bar in Prague. He also created ceramic tile stoves for the Heinsteinwerk company in Heidelberg. His projects were published in leading magazines such as Domus, Art et Industrie, and Innen-Dekoration.
