Offered as a \u003cstrong\u003erestoration project\u003c\/strong\u003e, with the wire frame showing heavy oxidation and pitting consistent with age. For the right buyer — a collector, restorer, or design enthusiast — this represents an exceptional acquisition opportunity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarren Platner\u003c\/strong\u003e (1919–2006) was an architect and designer who trained and worked in the office of \u003cstrong\u003eEero Saarinen\u003c\/strong\u003e alongside some of the most important names in American architecture. His \u003cstrong\u003e1966 Platner Collection for Knoll\u003c\/strong\u003e stands as one of the most original and technically demanding furniture designs ever produced: each chair is constructed from hundreds of individual curved steel wire rods, welded by hand into a basket-like structural form that simultaneously serves as frame, base, and visual statement. Platner described his goal as furniture that was \u003cem\u003e\"decorative, gentle, and graceful\"\u003c\/em\u003e — and the collection is exactly that, as recognizable today as when it was introduced nearly 60 years ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eoriginal mohair upholstery\u003c\/strong\u003e is a significant provenance detail. Knoll offered mohair as a premium upholstery option on the Platner Collection, and original mohair examples are considerably more desirable to serious collectors than later reupholstered pieces. Even in its current condition, the presence of the original fabric is a reason to restore rather than replace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warren Platner (1919–2006)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Knoll\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Platner Armchair (1966 Collection)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUpholstery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original mohair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 29.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWire frame heavily oxidized and pitted — consistent with age and requiring professional restoration.
