The story behind the Warren Platner Dining Table Warren Platner looked at design in a different way. He made a career out of experimenting, innovating & challenging people's perceptions of both what furniture was, but also of what it could be. His signature use of steel wiring & trademark solid base were examples of just this. He once said of its inception: 'I, as a designer, felt there was room for the kind of decorative, gentle, graceful kind of design that appeared in period style like Louis XV, but it could have a more rational base instead of being applied decoration. ' The result was the Dining Table, simultaneously revolutionary, classic & beautiful.
