Milo Baughman Lounge Chair

Now seems to be the time to snap up something by Milo Baughman, who created many pieces of furniture for Thayer Coggin, established in 1953 and with whom Baughman worked until his death in 2003. After a stint in the Army Air Force during World War II designing officer’s clubs, Baughman moved to Southern California and attended Chouinard, which would become the California Institute of the Arts. His career was set in motion in the 1960s and ’70s, when he would design a much-anticipated new line for Thayer Coggin to debut at the High Point market each year. Everything on this chair is original, from the thick belting-leather strap arms to the slightly worn caramel-colored leather upholstery. $6,600 from
