Knoll International Platner High Table
The high Platner table from Knoll International is the collection's large round table, with a diameter of 152 cm or 180 cm. Warren Platner came to Knoll in 1962 with a design that was barely buildable: hundreds of curved steel rods had to be aligned so precisely that they would both bear weight and function as ornament. Platner spent four years developing the construction and manufacturing process himself, and the collection launched in 1966. A single piece requires up to 1,000 weld points. Platner wanted the grace of historical styles such as Louis XV, but arising from the construction itself rather than applied as decoration: the shape begins at the floor and rises until it encloses the person seated. Platner had studied at Cornell University and worked for Raymond Loewy, Eero Saarinen and I. M. Pei before founding his own office; the American Institute of Architects honoured the collection with an international award in 1966. For the 50th anniversary in 2015, a version with 18-carat gold was added.
The frame consists of vertical round steel rods welded to round frame rods. The frame is available nickel-plated and polished with a clear protective lacquer, finished in metallic bronze, or coated in 18-carat gold. A transparent plastic profile protects the floor. The table top is made of polished crystal glass or marble with a bevelled edge.
With a 152 cm diameter, the table top is available in clear glass or Marble in Arabescato (white with grey veining), Statuarietto, Nero Marquina (deep black with occasional white veining), or Verde Alpi (green in varying shades); with 180 cm, Rosso Rubino is also available. Marble versions are available coated or satin-finished. Bronzed glass is not available for this table.
