EXCUSE ME??? Did someone say MILO BAUGHMAN for THAYER COGGIN!!!??? YES, PLEASE!!!!! This is a low coffee table or bench by Milo Baughman for Thayer Coggin comprised of a simple long, narrow rectangular walnut frame composed of a veneer top held by double sets of solid walnut square straight legs joined lengthwise by horizontal round rod stretchers. STUNNING in its simplicity!! It does retain its original tag denoting that it was in fact designed by Milo Baughman for Thayer Coggin on the bottom. Mr. Baughman was fond of this dual duty type of piece that could be used as a nice low table OR could become a bench for extra seating. Cool thought… with the addition of a couple of seat cushions that could be easily made for this beauty, it would add a little extra comfort and change the look up a bit! Use this fabulous piece as a coffee table paired with a wonderful sofa of practically ANY style (hint… we just happen to have several listed here that would look marvelous paired with this beauty, check them out!!!!) Or, utilize it a bench in a wide hallway, in front of a fireplace, or as a low media console hosting a stereo or television along a wall in the living room or family room. It bears a marvelous Mid-Century Modern aesthetic that will beautifully blend with any style of decor, a timeless presence, and it bursts with VERSATILITY OVERLOAD!!!!!

One of the most remarkable partnerships in the mid-century modern to modern design world was the phenomenal furniture making duo of Milo Baughman and Thayer Coggin. Milo Baughman, a 20th Century genius of design, was born in Western Kansas in 1923 but was moved a year later by his family to Long Beach, California. He created Milo Baughman Design Inc. in 1947 and began designing interiors and furniture. Thayer Coggin was born in 1922 in Denton, North Carolina. Twelve years later his family moved 25 miles north to High Point where he grew up surrounded by furniture manufacturing. Thayer’s first love was furniture and Milo’s was design. So, together in 1953, after the two met, history was made in American furniture making by one of the greatest collaborations in the industry. During his career and before his death in 2003, Milo did design for several other companies as well as his own, but it is his collaboration with Thayer Coggin that is most impressive and sought-after today. Thayer Coggin, Inc. is still in business today even after its namesake’s death and is still offering classic selections from the late Baughman’s designs.

We are in love with this ingenious piece of furniture… I mean, WHO DOESN’T love a Milo Baughman for Thayer Coggin piece?? And whether you use it as a table, a bench, or a low media console… you need to make it yours!!
