platner stool
Design Warren Platner, 1966
Steel wire rod, upholstery
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, plus dining side and coffee tables.
The Platner seating collection features vertical steel wire rods welded to circular horizontal and edge-framing rods. The frame base has a clear plastic extrusion ring for a smooth bottom surface. The seat is a molded fiberglass shell & molded latex foam cushion. This collection is offered in your choice of either a bright nickel with clear lacquer protection, 18K gold plated, or painted bronze metallic frame.
