platner gold plated lounge chair
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, low stool, 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 bright nickel with clear lacquer frame, painted bronze metallic frame or 18K gold plated with clear lacquer frame.
In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Platner Collection, Knoll has produced Platner Gold, an 18k gold-plated finish option. The finish, plated in Italy, is available on the Platner Lounge Chair, Platner Arm Chair, Platner Stool, Platner Dining Table, Platner Coffee Table and Platner Side Table. Please call the hive showroom with any questions: 1-866-663-4483.
