Warren Platner Coffe Table - 1966

Warren Platner (1919-2006) was studding architecture at the Cornwell University. His very first job was to work for Raymond Loewy und I.M. Pei. Later he worked on the side of Eero Saarinen on the design of the „Dulles International Airport” in Washington.

In the 60's, the American Warren Platner developed a furniture collection for Knoll that was very impressive, not just on account of its very elaborate assembly, but also due to a certain Moire-effect created by the individually welded round steel bars. The collection, consisting of a dining table, side table, armchair, chair and stool was immediately a great success.
