The Warren Platner executive furniture set, designed in 1973 for Knoll International, is a quintessential example of mid-century modern office design. This particular set includes a large desk and two sideboards, reflecting Platner’s intent to bring a sense of grace and decorative elegance to modernism. The desk features a sleek, minimalist design with a chrome base, and the top is finished in black leather, framed with wood edging, which is characteristic of Platner’s refined aesthetic. The sideboards complement the desk, also featuring chrome bases and black leather tops, making them not only practical for storage but also cohesive design elements that create a unified workspace.
This collection, especially in a complete set like this, is rare and represents a significant piece of design history.
A smaller version of the desk is also available.
