Set of Milo Baughman Biedermeier Lounge Chairs for Thayer Coggin

About the Item

This Biedermeier 90 collection, Milo Baughman did with Thayer Coggin in the is one of the last collections Milo and Coggin did together in the 1990's. Milo Baughman believed the midcentury style needed to be warmed up a bit. For admirers of Biedermeier furniture, the neoclassical style that flourished in Austria and Germany from 1815-1830, the choices are few: scarce and expensive antique pieces and now, Milo Baughman's Biedermeier 90 collection for Thayer Coggin, a furniture maker in High Point, N.C. ''When I teach the history of modern design, I start with Biedermeier, because it's the first indication that there would be a new philosophy in design, furniture designed to be more honest and simple,'' said Mr. Baughman, who has designed furniture for Thayer Coggin since 1953 and also teaches design at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. The 27-piece collection, which includes consoles, tables and upholstered seating, captures the spirit of Biedermeier design with honey-colored wood veneers, neoclassical fluted columns and natural steel finishes. - Ref NYTIMES, 8/10/1989 “Eurostyle started out as a fairly valid design statement,” says Milo Baughman, a highly regarded veteran furniture designer who teaches at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. ''But when it was reduced to more commercial levels and picked up too quickly by people who make cheap furniture, that led to its demise. It became a frightful cliché, lots of black lacquer and wrinkled leather sofas. “In a way that's too bad, because Eurostyle brought us out of a period that was very conservative and transitional, to cleaner, bolder, more modern design.” This set of Milo Baughman Biedermeier Lounge Chairs for Thayer Coggin has a warm edge combined with clean lines. This solid maple chair has been restored and reupholstered. Baughman, a designer for Thayer Coggin Inc. since its launch in 1953, feels modernism needs to be warmed up. -Ref The Seattle Times, 7/8/1990.
