In 1966, Warren Platner designed a collection of furniture, which became iconic, characterised by a sculptural silhouette. By transforming simple steel rods, the architect and designer created an elegant collection of chairs and tables with a base made of bundles of steel wire. The result is of remarkable harmony and elegance. While the pieces in the Platner collection have been produced by Knoll without interruption since their creation, the Platner Easy Chair has only been manufactured from 1966 to 1988. Made entirely by hand, the curved Easy Chair offers generous comfort.
Founded in 1938 in the United States, Knoll is a manufacturer of designer furniture and office equipment, where excellence is a fundamental principle. Since its inception, Knoll has strived to innovate and modernize design. For the furniture manufacturer Knoll, beautiful design is synonymous with a profitable business. Among its iconic creations are the Saarinen Table and the Tulip Chair, designed by Eero Saarinen. Today, it is convinced that its principle works, as Knoll International has been, for over 70 years, one of the leading companies in design.
