Warren Platner Bronze Wire Sofa for Knoll International, c 1966

By Knoll, Warren Platner

Located in Los Angeles, CA

An original Warren Platner for Knoll International sofa, designed in 1966 and produced in the late 1960s–1970s.

The curved architectural silhouette is formed from hundreds of vertical steel rods, welded with horizontal rings to create a structure that is at once airy and monumental. The base is finished in the original bronze patina, lending warmth and depth that distinguishes it from later reproductions. Knoll ceased production of the Platner sofa...
