Warren Platner & Chinoiserie

Richmond Symphony Designer House

I am hoping to buzz down to Richmond this weekend before the Richmond Symphony Designer House closes on Monday and especially want to see this library. I am a huge fan of mid century modern and love Warren Platner chairs and tables. This is a pair of Platner chairs.

Platner combines surprising well with Chinoiserie.

Pairing the Chinese Chippendale Chair

Jonathan Adler

For my dining room redo, I have decided to pair a round dining table with white Chinese Chippendale chairs. One idea I can't get out of my mind is a table I have loved for years, the iconic mid century modern Warren Platner table. Not sure if I will go this route or not, but I do love this table. It is available in vintage versions and authorized reproductions by Knoll as well as knockoffs.
