Warren Platner

American popular designer Warren Platner started working with notable designer Eero Saarinen and I.M. Pei in the wake of moving on from Cornell University School of Architecture in 1941. Over twenty years after the fact, Platner opened his own office in New Haven. The area was changed into a huge studio wherein furniture was made, alongside materials and lighting advancements.

As would be natural for Platner, an 'exemplary' is characterized as "something that each time you check out it, you acknowledge it for what it's worth and you see no chance of further developing it."
