An instagram moment with Warren Platner

What I am loving ... my new coffee table by Warren Platner.

Warren Platner (1919-2006),  an American,

studied architecture in Cornell,

worked with Eero Saarinen and I.M. Pei,

and rose into prominence in the 1960s.

In 1966, Knoll started producing an entire line of Mr Platner's 

steel wire and glass furniture.

It continues to do so to this day.

I love the way the steel gently curves ...

so much softness in an element which can be so hard and unyielding.

This is one piece that I know I will enjoy for the rest of my life.

It's timeless. 

This is my first instagram photograph

and,  clearly, I need lots of practice.

My apologies.
