MAD 80 M ilo Baughman, who designed some of the most sought-after modern furniture of the 20th century, had a 50-year collab- oration with North Carolina furniture manufacturer Thayer Coggin that was as remarkable as it was long. Baughman's forward- thinking creations for Thayer Coggin — including the iconic 1953 Scoop chair, 1965 Cruisin' lounge chair and ottoman, and 1968 T-Back lounge chair — not only made him a household name but launched the California modernist move- ment to the rest of the world. Both Coggin and Baughman died in 2003, but the company, which is run by Coggin's daughter Royale Coggin Wiggin, continues to produce Baughman's complete collection, to his original and exact specifications. This month, Kuhl-Linscomb begins carrying Thayer Coggin with a collection of Milo Baughman-designed chaises, reclin- ers, swivel chairs, and sectionals. Special and custom orders can be placed for pieces from Thayer Coggin's entire line. From $2,000 for a lounge chair, $4,000 for a sofa, at Kuhl-Linscomb, 2424 W. Alabama, kuhl-linscomb.com.
