Warren Platner Lounge Chair for Knoll International, 1966

Designed by Warren Platner in 1966, the Platner Collection embodies the essence of the era's evolving design ethos, capturing the "decorative, gentle, graceful" forms that characterized the period. Platner ingeniously fused structural integrity with ornamental beauty by welding curved steel rods to circular frames, a technique that simultaneously served as both structure and adornment. Drawing on his tenure at Eero Saarinen and Associates, Platner's innovative approach to furniture design ushered in a new era of expressive modernism, seamlessly merging competing aesthetic paradigms of the time.
