A masterclass in proportion and materiality, this iconic design pairs the warmth of richly figured Brazilian rosewood with architectural lines and inviting upholstery. Newly refinished and professionally reupholstered in luxurious Italian chenille, it presents beautifully while honoring the original vision of one of America's most celebrated modern furniture designers.

The bold rosewood case showcases dramatic natural grain on every exposed surface, transforming the frame into a work of art from every angle. Deep button-tufting along the backrest provides subtle texture without overwhelming the clean silhouette, while the oversized cylindrical bolster pillows soften the linear form. Slim polished metal legs create the illusion that the sofa floats effortlessly above the floor, lending the substantial case a remarkably light visual presence.

Milo Baughman was renowned for stripping furniture down to its essential forms while elevating it through exceptional materials and impeccable proportions. His long collaboration with Thayer Coggin produced many of the most recognizable designs of the American modern movement, prized for their ability to feel both luxurious and remarkably contemporary decades later. This sofa exemplifies that philosophy, balancing sculptural simplicity with everyday comfort. Whether admired for its striking Brazilian rosewood or its timeless modern silhouette, it remains an exceptional statement piece and a standout example of American mid-century craftsmanship.
