Original New Set Knoll Warren Platner 5 Dining chairs 1 Table
Architect and designer Warren Platner (1919-2006) was born in Baltimore and graduated from Cornell University School of Architecture in 1941. He got his professional start at some of the most prominent and interesting architectural practices in the country, including Raymond Loewy, IM Pei, and Eero Saarinen. It was after this extensive exposure to many innovative modern designers of the period, and after gaining considerable experience, that Platner opened his own office, Platner Associates, in Connecticut in 1967.
In the 1960s, Platner developed the so-called Knoll Platner Collection, his most important furniture contribution to the mid-century landscape. Platner designed both the structure and the production method for this series of chairs, ottomans and tables. Production was complicated because the sculptural bases were made from hundreds of rods and some chairs required more than 1,000 welds. An intricate cylindrical steel base, creating a unique architectural play between the indoor and outdoor space, supported the upholstered chair. Compared to a wheat sheaf, according to the Knoll catalog, their bright nickel finish alluded more to the technological innovations used to create their elegant, distinctly modern appearance. In creating these pieces, he wrote that "as a designer I felt that there was room for the kind of decorative, soft, graceful design that appeared in historical style, such as Louis XV." He also outlined the definition of a classic as "something that every time you look at it, you accept it as it is and you see no way to improve it," a quality that has often been applied to this furniture series.
