Tables / Dining / Platner Table

In 1962, Warren Platner presented Knoll with a design based on a precise arrangement of bent steel rods. The construction required careful alignment to maintain structural integrity while producing the intended visual geometry.

The design was developed over four years and introduced by Knoll in 1966. Its structure defines the form, with the repeated steel rods creating both the supporting framework and the distinctive profile of the piece.

Warren Platner (1919-2006) was born in Baltimore and graduated from the Cornell University School of Architecture in 1941. From 1945 to 1950 he worked for Raymond Loewy and I.M. Pei. He was a part of Eero Saarinen’s office from 1960-65, opening Platner Associates, in Connecticut in 1967. His series of wire-framed chairs, ottomans and tables for Knoll are icons of mid-century modern design.

Knoll products are defined by a distinct modern sensibility. From classics by the likes of Mies van der Rohe to ground-breaking designs by contemporary creatives including Marc Newson, David Adjaye, Barber Osgerby and Rem Koolhaas.
