[quote=Anonymous]This NYT article is the gift that keeps on giving. So many working class kids that I know are named Graham and their father’s are named Bronson.

[quote]Mr. Platner’s father, Bronson Platner, established himself as an attorney in the area with an active practice that took on local real estate and business transactions.

Bronson’s father, Warren Platner, was a celebrated architect who designed the dining room of Windows on the World, the storied restaurant atop the World Trade Center, and offices for the Ford Foundation building.

Before Mr. Platner was born, his grandfather also designed an expansive family estate in Connecticut that he said was inspired by “a chateau in the Loire Valley” of France. Mr. Platner has said he visited his paternal grandparents at their home twice a year, on Thanksgiving and Easter.

Warren Platner is best known for a namesake line of furniture, including midcentury modern easy chairs that today are priced starting at $15,000.

“I love them,” President Trump, who kept Platner chairs in his office at Trump Tower, told The New York Times in 2010. “I’ve had them re-covered recently. I buy the velvet fabric directly from the company, and it costs a fortune, but don’t they look great?”[/quote][/quote]
