Product description
Original New dining Chair Knoll Warren Platner
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 with some of the most prominent and interesting architectural practices in the country, including Raymond Loewy, I.M. Pei and Eero Saarinen.
It was after this extensive exposure to many innovative modern designers of the period, and after gaining much 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 significant furniture contribution to the mid-century landscape. For this series of chairs, hockers and tables, Platner designed both the structure and the production method. 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, which created 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 shiny nickel finish alluded more to the technological innovations used to create their elegant, distinctly modern look. In creating these pieces, he wrote that "as a designer, I felt there was room for the kind of decorative, soft, ornate design that appeared in historical style, like 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 often applied to this furniture series.
