Milo Baughman - Club Chairs


"When I left Art Center, I thought Modern design would change the world. Now, I no longer have such lofty hopes, but perhaps the world is just a bit better off because of it. In any event, good Modern has already proven to be the most enduring, timeless and classic of all design movements." - Milo Baughman




Milo Baughman, an American designer, was one of the leading modern furniture designers of the second-half of the 20th century. His prolific and highly influential work continues to be copied, reinvented and revived by contemporary furniture designers/dealers. Baughman designed for a number of furniture companies starting in the mid-1940s until his death. He is most famous for his longtime association with Thayer Coggin Inc., in NC, which began in 1953, and lasted until his death in 2003. He also lectured broadly on the state of modern design, extolling the positive benefits of good design on the lives of human beings, and helping to define and shape the discussion for years to come.

While with Thayer Coggin Inc, Baughman designed the Club Chairs a beautiful simple design - perfect size with top quality construction. The chair sits upon a wooden base and can rock and rotate 360 degrees, so you can really kick it and relax. Original fabric and orignal tags intact.
