A striking centrepiece that brings artistic expression to the dining room, the Knoll Platner Dining Table is a celebrated example of modern furniture design.
Created by Warren Platner in 1966, it transforms the structural qualities of steel into an intricate sculptural base, combining architectural presence with a refined sense of lightness.
The table’s distinctive foundation is formed from individually welded steel rods, arranged in a graceful circular structure that creates an intricate interplay of light and shadow. This signature framework gives the design its unmistakable character, balancing visual delicacy with structural strength. Above, the tabletop provides a clean, elegant counterpoint to the detailed metalwork, allowing the beauty of the materials and the precision of the construction to take centre stage.
An authentic, licensed original by Knoll, the Platner Dining Table preserves the integrity of Warren Platner’s influential design. Its carefully engineered base and considered proportions reflect the craftsmanship behind a collection that continues to define sophisticated modern interiors.
Designed to make a statement without overwhelming its surroundings, the table brings a distinctive focal point to contemporary dining rooms, open-plan living spaces and refined hospitality settings. Its sculptural base pairs beautifully with upholstered dining chairs, while the transparent quality of the framework helps maintain a sense of openness around the table. Whether chosen for everyday dining or entertaining, the Platner Dining Table offers a compelling balance of practicality and artistic character.
More than a functional piece of furniture, it is a lasting design classic that celebrates authentic provenance, meticulous craftsmanship and the enduring appeal of modernist design.
