Featuring a stunning Rosewood top with vivid grain and detail, and a lacquered white cylindrical base with white Formica top. The Rosewood top rotates when spun so that it can be used as a rotating Lazy Susan table while the formica center stays stationary. Restored with a French Polish, this gorgeous piece is ready to be placed into any luxury interior.

We refinished the Rosewood with a French Polish giving it a thick glass-like finish which via the thicker harder surface protects the table from regular daily use and gives the vibrant Rosewood grain a lustrous and more exotic appearance. French Polish is the most expensive and labor intensive finish that is often reserved for the finest items, usually for exotic woods and often seen on important Rosewood and Macassar Ebony Art Deco cabinets. The deep watery-sheen is created through many hand applied coats and hand polished to a thick glass-like finish. The results are just exquisite, and this important piece is now ready for immediate placement in any high-end luxury designer project.

This collectors piece is rare, partly because very few units were made, but also because these are in extremely high demand. With the popularity of curved 'conversation pit' styled sofa's, not many coffee tables can fit perfectly with them and function with the rotating Lazy Susan feature. This particular table was made to pair with the Milo Baughman for Thayer Coggin curved sofa but can work with any alternate option include the De Sede Non-Stop sofa, Vladimir Kagan or Directional sofas or any other curved couch or sectional. We currently have several of these above options available, contact us for more info.

Designed and debuted in 1968 as part of the Environment 70 Collection which was a collection advertised to be so designer focused, that you don't need to hire an interior designer. Such incredible collectibility, this example is prime for the consummate collector, interior designer, or art and design aficionado.

This Milo Baughman for Thayer Coggin rotating coffee (or tea) table would work great in a Mid-Century Modern, Scandinavian Modern or Danish Modern home or penthouse apartment but could also look fantastic in a Contemporary or Postmodern room. Also consider mixing it up in a Traditional, Transitional, Classical or Art Deco room with a splash of juxtaposition. Would also be an apt choice in a commercial project such as a hotel lobby lounge or members club, creative design studio or high-rise executive office.

CONDITION:
Excellent restored condition. Rosewood top was fully refinished in a French Polish and exhibits deep vivid graining. French Polish is a thick multi-coat of lacquer that protects the wood underneath much better than other finishes. The lower portion of the base was refinished in a white lacquer to match the Formica top which was cleaned. Some light wear including faint scratching can be seen upon close inspection to the Formica top. Swivel top mechanism functions well and smoothly. Sturdy and structurally sound. Ready to be used immediately. See less
