Otto Prutscher (1880–1949) was one of the innovators of Viennese Modernism, an architect, and a designer in all applied arts media. He was also an exhibition designer, teacher, and member of all the important arts and crafts movements, ranging from the Secession to the Wiener Werkstätte and the Werkbund.
