War­ren Plat­ner Cof­fee Table

Specifically designed to blur the lines between interior and exterior, Platner’s collection of coffee tables, chairs and ottomans, screams beautiful simplicity.

Platner’s tables come from a range he designed whilst at Knoll, which have been in continuous production since their introduction. Held up by a vertical steel rod frame, welded to circular horizontal framing rods, Platner’s signature style of steel wire work comes to life.

Markus Handle (Cosmetic Surgeon), Vienna (March 2021)

My new practice in Innsbruck needed to be furnished to reflect my expertise, success and professionalism. Having spent months looking at a number of furniture designs (Egg chair, Barcelona chair, Warren Platner coffee table, ea217 office chair and ea219 office chair). I was immediately drawn to Iconic Interiors website by what it could offer and the fact there was person behind the website. I built up a rapport with Mark who understood my vision and reassured me every step of the way with my choice in designs for each of the rooms. The colours, the contrasts, the curves just marry into each other making the environment aesthetically pleasing to the eye and exudes quality. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Mark and I will be using him when I roll out my next practice in Vienna. See Markus Handle's furniture pieces in situ in our designer furniture blog.

To this day, Warren Platner’s tables have continued to sell and have always struck the perfect balance between practicality and supreme style. Whilst working at Knoll during the 1960s, Platner created a collection of tables that have stood the test of time and are the perfect addition to any space.

Like most of Platner’s furniture, his tables were created from steel wire – a technique that he managed to turn into his signature art form. His coffee table features a vertical steel rod frame, welded to circular horizontal framing rods, topped with glass. It is a piece which combines both the practicality of life, without sacrificing style.

A Platner table is a must have piece for those interested in stunning modernist design. Platner was at the forefront of the movement in the 1960s and all of his pieces, ranging from his tables through to his ‘Wire Lounge Chair’ are the perfect edition to any home or office space.
