A cream-colored, shagreen stingray-patterned leather covers the thick, rectangular seat and back cushions as well as the arms—all elevated on bold, “flat bar” chrome frames that form the arms, legs, and support structure while barely occupying the visual space
Avant garde design like this is typically American Mid-Century Modern or Italian in origin, dating back to the 1970s, and very much in the style of designer Milo Baughman (1923–2003). A pioneering American furniture designer and a central figure in the Mid-Century Modern movement, Baughman was known as the "Father of California Modern Design." His work is celebrated for balancing high-end, forward-thinking aesthetics with affordability and comfort—products which are "unpretentious and usable” in the designer’s own words. Pull them up to a glass and chrome table for the full, knockout effect.
