The Platner Dining Table was originally designed for Warren Platner’s iconic 1966 eponymous tables & chairs collection.

Each piece is constructed by welding hundreds of curved steel rods to circular frames, requiring over 1,000 welds for its intricate structure. Platner once stated, “A classic is something you look at often and always accept as it is, because you can see no way of improving it.” The Platner Dining Table is the embodiment of Warren Platner’s philosophy.

Designer

Warren Platner

Warren Platner (1919-2006) was an influential American architect and interior designer who began his career working with Eero Saarinen and Kevin Roche in the early 1960s. Platner is most commonly recognized for his eponymous Platner Collection (1966), which features chairs and tables constructed of hundreds of thin, bent and welded steel rods plated in various materials, including gold, that create cylindrical bases resembling a "shiny sheaf of wheat." The Platner Collection tables and chairs are instantly recognizable symbols of 1960s modernism, having appeared throughout  pop-culture media, including the James Bond "The Spy Who Loved Me" and "Moonraker" films. Warren Platner's work earned him the Rome Prize in architecture and an induction into the Interior Design Hall of Fame. Platner’s artistic manipulation of industrial materials create elegant, sculptural forms that bridge the gap between modernism and décor.
