Product Details

Product Description

Warren Platner, a distinguished American architect and interior designer, was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1919. Platner began his impressive career by earning a degree in architecture from Cornell University in 1941. He went on to work with renowned architects such as Raymond Loewy, I.M. Pei, and Eero Saarinen, contributing to the development of significant structures such as the Dulles International Airport, the Repertory Theater at Lincoln Center, and various dormitories for Yale University. Platner was passionate about designing the interior of buildings, believing that a structure's character and identity should be reflected from within. As the head of interior design for Kevin Roche's firm, he gained even more experience, ultimately founding his own firm, Platner Associates, in 1967. Not limited to architecture alone, Platner also explored furniture design, lighting, textiles, and interiors. His work was both exhibited widely and applied to numerous projects, including the Ford Foundation headquarters in New York, the Georg Jensen Design Center, the American Restaurant in Kansas, the Water Tower Place in Chicago, and the Windows on the World Restaurant atop the World Trade Center in New York. Platner's achievements include being honored with the Rome Prize in 1955 for his architecture work and being inducted into Interior Design magazine's Hall of Fame in 1985.
