Iconic Warren Platner dining set for Knoll, including a glass-top table and four red upholstered matching chairs.

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. Approximate table dimensions with glass top: 44” dia. x 27"H.

"1000 Chairs" p. 400-401. Presented in original packaging. Brand new. Measurements: 78/50 cm (height) x 95 x 70 cm. 83 x 86 x 72 cm (original packaging). In 1966, Platner designed for the American publisher Knoll an innovative concept: to achieve the chair without legs, a rational design while aesthetic. The Platner chair, the main element of the collection, was conceived to envelop and complement the person sitting in it. The pieces of the Platner collection, distributed by Knoll, are composed of hundreds of individual welds, all hand-welded, following traditional processes to achieve that delicacy and purity in the piece. It was the collection of furniture designed for the Knoll brand that made Platner recognized worldwide. The collection in question, named after its designer, is an icon of modern furniture. Platner personally formulated production techniques for each chair, which feature more than a hundred steel rods.
