Milo Baughman (1923-2003) American, (2) 951-103 Thayer Coggin Lounge Chairs. Both bear the original tags on the undersides of the white leather seat cushions. Originally designed in 1966, the 951-103 lounge chair is Milo Baughman’s most recognizable chair design, created in the heyday of his fifty-year collaboration with Thayer Coggin Inc.  The highly influential and iconic armchair has a slim steel frame and commonly solid-colored upholstery, using thick down-wrapped cushions set at an angle for the ideal resting position and the hidden supports to give the impression that one is “floating” on the chair. 

Size: 29 x 33 x 29 in. 

Milo Ray Baughman, Jr. (1923-2003) was an influential American furniture and interior designer renowned for his sleek, modernist approach.

After serving in the Army Air Forces during World War II, Baughman launched Milo Baughman Design Inc., creating innovative furniture in collaboration with his wife, Olga Lee, and designing for companies including Thayer Coggin Inc., with whom he maintained a lifelong association. His work appeared in major exhibitions, including the Whitney Museum’s seminal “High Styles” show, and his designs are featured in museums across the United States. Baughman lectured widely on modern design’s impact on daily life and taught environmental design at Brigham Young University. Inducted into the Furniture Designer’s Hall of Fame in 1987, he left a lasting legacy of functional, elegant, and human-centered modern furniture.
