Warren Platner
Born in Baltimore in 1919, Warren Platner was an American architect and designer, trained in both architecture and interior design. After early experiences in prominent international studios, he developed a practice that combined structural rigor with decorative sensibility. In the 1960s and 1970s, Platner translated architectural language into furniture design, conceiving objects as elements capable of defining space. His work reflects an idea of design that is elegant and structured, balanced between form, function, and architectural context.
