Warren Platner for Knoll, Mid-Century Dining Table & Four Armchairs:
Iconic Warren Platner dining set for Knoll, including a glass-top table and four red upholstered matching chairs. Designed in the 1960s, this set exemplifies Platner’s signature aesthetic, featuring sculptural wire construction crafted from welded nickel-plated steel rods. The round glass tabletop, which is removable, rests atop the sleek wire base, creating a striking visual interplay of transparency and structure. The four chairs, with their original red upholstered seats and curved backs, provide a bold contrast to the sleek metal frame, embodying the timeless elegance of mid-century modern design. Warren Platner was an influential American architect and designer known for his contributions to modernist furniture and interior design. After working with iconic figures such as Eero Saarinen and Kevin Roche, Platner gained recognition for his own collection of wire furniture for Knoll, introduced in 1966. His designs, distinguished by their elegant yet industrial aesthetic, transformed steel rods into functional sculptures, earning them a lasting place in design history. A celebrated classic in furniture history, this set remains a highly sought-after statement piece for collectors and design enthusiasts.
