Warren Platner 

"Executive Desk" From The Art Collection Series

Manufactured by Walter Knoll Germany, 1970

This exceptional set features a desk top in ebonised oak, leather, and 2 cm thick flat steel "T" shaped feet. The desk top looks like it is floating on air because of the T shaped feet. The extension and the cabinet are in ebonised oak.

It consists of three detached pieces that include, one table desk, one movable desk extension with four drawers (right), one movable cabinet with five drawers (left).

The desk top have an electric plug system integrated which you can plug in your computer, screens, and a desk lamp as you wish through the circular metal apertures on the desk top.

This set needs a "large area to make an impression to show it off", and it is all about quality, extremely heavy, and very well-made.

The Warren Platner "executive office" released in 1973 by Knoll International shows clear similarities to this one designed and executed "three years earlier" in 1970.

Set in very good condition overall, showing slight signs of wear.

Provenance from the "Knoll" headquarter office in Herrenberg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
