Design Warren Platner, 1966
Painted metallic bronze wire rod, glass, marble, wood
Made by Knoll
In the 1960s, Warren Platner transformed steel wire into a sculptural furniture collection, creating what is now considered a design icon of the modern era. The Platner collection's unique harmonious forms are produced by welding steel wire rods to circular frames, producing a moire effect and capturing the decorative, gentle, graceful quality that Platner sought to achieve. All metal components are finished in bright nickel with a clear lacquer protective coating. The Platner collection also includes a side chair, lounge chair and stool.
The frame of the Platner table collection features vertical steel wire rods welded to circular horizontal and edge-framing rods. The Base has a clear plastic extrusion ring that creates a smooth bottom surface. This collection is offered in your choice of a variety of top options and the base is available in either a bright nickel or metallic bronze.
