Wlach, Oskar#

b. Vienna, April 18, 1881, d. New York (USA), Aug. 15, 1963, architect and designer. Collaborated from 1908 with O. Strnad and, from 1910 to 1938, with J. Frank; with the latter, Wlach founded the home furnishing store "Haus & Garten" in 1925, which soon achieved considerable renown in Europe owing to its Viennese arts and crafts articles. In 1938 the company was expropriated as Jewish property, and Wlach fled via Switzerland and Britain to the USA, where he tried unsuccessfully to continue his professional career.
