WARREN PLATNER (Baltimore, 1919 - Connecticut, 2006) for KNOLL. Lounge Chair model 1725A, design 1966. Nickel-plated steel frame and black velvet upholstery. Cataloged in: Charlotte and Peter Fiell. "1000 Chairs" p. 400-401. In original packaging. In good condition. 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.
