Platner

The Platner Collection is one of the most sought-after Art Nouveau collections in the world. The collection was created by Warren Platner, one of the most famous American designers of the 20th century, and is still produced by the world-renowned furniture manufacturer Knoll Studio. Originally presented to Knoll in 1966, the Platner collection remains an icon of modern furniture design to this day. «A classic," Platner said, «is an object that you take for granted every time you look at it and don’t see any way to improve it."

To create armchairs and tables in his collection, Platner personally developed the technology for the production of complex structures. More than a thousand welds and more than a hundred cylindrical steel rods are required to produce the cylindrical steel base of the collection items, which resembles a sheaf of wheat. The models of the Platner collection, which can be called a work of design art, nevertheless justify their functional purpose, being comfortable and ergonomic furniture for home and public interiors.
