Warren Platner original edition armchair for Knoll, Italy ca 1975

Elegant original 1970s armchair designed by Warren Platner for Knoll, recently upholstered with a beautiful grey/blue velvet. In 1966, Warren Platner transformed steel wire into this sculptural chair, creating what is now considered a design icon of the modern era.
The chair is created by welding curved steel rods to circular and semi-circular frames, simultaneously serving as structure and ornament. It creates a moire effect and captures the decorative, gentle, graceful quality that Platner sought to achieve.
The chair is in good condition with some wear consistent with age and use.
