Finally, we have them in the collection: an exceptional set of 6 Warren Platner chairs – a design icon that has been in continuous production at Knoll since 1966.
Designed by Warren Platner , these chairs represent the best of 1960s modernism: a perfect balance between architectural structure and visual lightness . The sculptural base is constructed from hundreds of carefully welded steel rods —some designs requiring over a thousand welds. This craftsmanship results in a construction that is not only robust but also creates a refined interplay of light and shadow.
The characteristic, repeating pattern of vertical steel wires gives the chairs their iconic appearance: timeless, elegant, and technically impressive. Platner's designs are beloved by collectors and interior designers worldwide, thanks in part to his influential work in prominent New York interiors such as the Ford Foundation headquarters and the legendary Windows on the World restaurant in the World Trade Center.
This particular set dates from the 1980s and is in excellent condition . The chairs have been reupholstered in a luxurious, deep blue fabric , making them ready to shine in any interior for decades to come.
A rare opportunity to acquire a complete set of six of these modernist classics.
