Thayer Coggin Chaise Longues

American

Few friendships last a lifetime, but Milo Baughman (1923–2003) and Thayer Coggin (1922–2003) were united by their desire to craft American furniture with timeless heirloom appeal. Today vintage Thayer Coggin sofas, coffee tables, alluring chrome-framed chairs and other furnishings are recognized as masterpieces of good design and remain highly sought after by collectors near and far.

Having both served in the military during World War II and coming from humble backgrounds — Coggin from Denton, North Carolina, and Baughman from Goodland, Kansas (but raised in California) — they shared a passion for simple, modern design in home furnishings. In 1953, after showing his prescient designs to a number of companies (who turned him down) in the furniture center of High Point, North Carolina, Baughman decided to pay a last-minute visit to Coggin, who had just founded his eponymous brand. After a nearly hour-long meeting in which Coggin shot out of his seat exclaiming he had never seen anything like Baughman's work, the two men shook hands. They would be friends and collaborators for the next 50 years.

Coggin let Baughman pursue his singular vision, while the Thayer Coggin company benefited from its close relationship with the ever more prominent Baughman, the manufacturer’s lead designer and an architect of California modernism who also collaborated with Drexel Furniture, Glenn of California and others during his career.

In 1968, New York Times critic Rita Reif hailed Baughman’s work for its elegance and sophistication. “With this furniture,” she wrote of his new collection, Environment 70 produced by Thayer Coggin, “who needs a decorator?” Baughman’s name became synonymous with sleekly modern, comfortable furniture the whole family could enjoy — stylish seating upholstered with impossibly cozy bouclé fabric and dashing case pieces that reflected the venturesome sensibility associated with mid-century modernism as well as the functionality of the Bauhaus.

Although its founder died in 2003, Thayer Coggin remains an esteemed family-run brand in High Point. Each item of furniture is bench-made by a single craftsperson to ensure “continuity among related pieces,” the company says, and comes in a vast array of upholstery fabrics, wood and metal finishes. Like the friendship that defined it, Thayer Coggin furniture is built to last.

Milo Baughman For Thayer Coggin 951 Flat Bar Chrome Lounge Chairs in Grey Tweed
By Thayer Coggin, Milo Baughman
Located in Chattanooga, TN
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. A superb pair of Milo Baughman’s legendary 951 flat-bar lounge chairs for Thayer Coggin, these pieces stand as paragons of mid-century modern elegance. These chairs embody the intersection of artistry and engineering. Their flat-bar steel frames, rendered in a sleek chrome finish, form luminous architectural lines; the upholstery—now restored in a refined gray tone—is wrapped over down-blended cushions that appear to float above the frame, giving silhouette and comfort equal weight. The arms are gracefully padded and wrapped, softening the assertive metal while maintaining Milo Baughman’s signature aesthetic: restraint plus comfort. Condition is excellent. Minor surface marks along the chrome reveal age but not weakness—the kind of truthful signs that confirm authenticity rather than distract. The cushions have been re-fluffed, the upholstery taut, the joints solid and quietly confident. This pair feels as settled in now as they will years hence. Provenance and pedigree matter: the 951 is among Baughman’s most celebrated designs (originally dating from 1966), produced by Thayer Coggin, an atelier with enduring reputation. Pieces like these appear in museum collections, high-end design archives, and notable collector inventories. These chairs are especially suited for interiors that prize both form and function. They could frame a minimalist coffee table, anchor a reading corner, or stand solo in a gallery-like space. In lighter neutrals or with accent cushions, the gray upholstery complements both warm woods and cooler metals; under ambient lighting, the chrome casts subtle highlights that shift with daylight. Owning this pair is not just acquiring seating—it is securing mid-century modern heritage, style that remains deeply relevant and visually compelling. 951 Design Classic Chair: Originally designed in 1966, the 951 lounge chair...
