Vintage swivel armchair by Milo Baughman for Thayer Coggin, 1950s

Milo Baughman Swivel Lounge Chair for Thayer Coggin Space Age. A true conversation piece with a nostalgic yet modern twist referring to Space-age and Scandinavian design. Milo Ray Baughman, Jr. (1923 – 2003) was a modern furniture designer. His American designs were forward-thinking and distinctive, yet unpretentious and affordable. Contemporary furniture designers and dealers continue to copy, reinvent, and revive his work in the new and secondary decorative art markets. Baughman designed for a number of furniture companies starting in the mid-1940s until his death, including Mode Furniture, Glenn of California, The Inco Company, Pacific Iron, Murray Furniture of Winchendon, Arch Gordon, George Kovacs, Directional, and Drexel, among others. He is most famous, however, for his longtime association with Thayer Coggin Inc., of High Point, NC, which began in 1953 and lasted until his death in 2003.
