Restored, vintage flat bar chrome lounge chairs set designed by Milo Baughman for Thayer Coggin. These lounge chairs have recently been updated with period appropriate grey tweed wool fabric. The texture and tone plays beautifully against the chrome frame. The original Thayer Coggin tags were preserved, and sewn into the seats. The chairs have a sleek pitched back gangster lean that cradles you into a comfy nook. Upholstered arm rests add even more comfort without giving the chair a bulky overstuffed look. Two metal clips on each chair hold in the otherwise loose seat cushions.
951 Design Classic Chair:
Originally designed in 1966, the 951 lounge chair is Milo Baughman’s most recognizable chair design. This influential and iconic chair with its slim, steel frame is a striking mix of modern style and alluring comfort. The 951’s upholstered seat and back are topped with thick down-wrapped cushions and set at an ideal angle for repose. Its geometric, flat bar steel frame with upholstery wrapped arm rests supports an upholstery frame that appears to float on air and creates eye-catching silhouettes from every angle. It may sound cliché to say this chair has a timeless look, but the elegant angled architectural frames exude a distinguished simplicity that looks as new and exciting today as it did 50 years ago.
About The Designer:
Milo Baughman (1923-2003) was a pioneer in modern design and one of the leading modern furniture designers of the second half of the 20th century. Baughman's uniquely American designs are forward-thinking and distinctive, yet unpretentious. The relaxed and timeless quality of his highly influential work continues to be collected and reinvented and revived by designers around the world. Paramount to Baughman's design philosophy was that good design is enduring design. Baughman's characteristic restraint did not permit the look of mere novelty to enter in. Rather, he achieved a look that is uncompromisingly modern, but which never violates the timeless standards of classic good taste. From 1953 to 2003, Thayer Coggin and Milo Baughman collaborated on designs, engineering and manufacturing techniques that came to define the mid-century modern era of American residential furniture. Baughman's work was included in "Good Design" at the MoMA, "High Styles: Twentieth Century American Design" at the Whitney Museum of American Art. He was awarded the Distinguished Design Award in 1987. less
