Milo Baughman Dining Room Sets
American, 1923-2003
Milo Baughman was one of the most agile and adept modern American furniture designers of the late 20th century. A prolific lecturer and writer on the benefits of good design — he taught for years at Brigham Young University — Baughman (whose often-scrambled surname is pronounced BAWF-man) focused almost exclusively on residential furnishings, such as chairs, sofas and benches. He had a particular talent for lounge chairs, perhaps the most sociable piece of furniture.
Like his fellow adoptive Californians Charles and Ray Eames, Baughman’s furniture has a relaxed and breezy air. He was famously opposed to ostentatious and idiosyncratic designs that were made to excite attention. While many of his chair designs are enlivened by such effects as tufted upholstery, Baughman tended to let his materials carry the aesthetic weight, most often relying on seating and table frames made of sturdy and sleek flat-bar chromed metal, and chairs, tables and cabinets finished with highly-figured wood veneers.
Like his colleagues Karl Springer and the multifarious Pierre Cardin, Baughman’s designs are emblematic of the 1970s: sleek, sure and scintillating.
As you will see from the furniture presented on 1stDibs, Milo Baughman’s designs for the likes of Drexel Furniture, Glenn of California and — for five decades — Thayer Coggin are ably employed as either the heart of a décor or its focal point.

Mod MCM Table by Milo Baughman & TC & 2 Chairs by Founders Furniture Red & White
By Milo Baughman, Thayer Coggin, Founders Furniture Company
Located in Topeka, KS
Fabulous mod style MCM (mid-century modern) 1967 dining or game table from the New Design Idiom line by Milo Baughman for Thayer Coggin comprised of red vinyl base and white laminate top table, and 2 slipper chairs by Founders Furniture. Chairs have been reupholstered in a neoprene bonded sponge waterproof wet suit fabric by Big Z Fabric. Wonderful vintage condition. The laminate top has been cleaned and polished but two small rust spots remain. The vinyl is in beautiful shape and the chairs have been reupholstered. Please see photos. We try to show flaws. Circa, 1967-1971.
NOTE: Due to photography/studio lighting color accuracy between the red vinyl on the chairs compared to the table base may be slightly different. The chairs are a bit lighter red than the table base.
Does it really get any cooler than Mod style slipper chairs with RED wet suit fabric??? WELL… YES! Especially when you pair them with a FANTASTIC 1967 New Design Idiom table by Milo Baughman for Thayer Coggin!!! We are in LOVE with this awesome mid-century modern table and chairs set. First, these scoop style chairs are beautifully reupholstered in a neoprene bonded sponge waterproof wet suit fabric from Big Z Fabric…AND it’s 3 MM thick with buttons! SO COOL… The scoop design allows for a deep sitting experience that is comfortable and oh-so-full-of-style! And that’s not all!! This table!! WOW, it has a round white laminate top, and the base is pedestal or barrel style, and it is covered in its original fabulous smooth red vinyl fabric! When eclectic partnerships such as Milo Baughman and Thayer Coggin come together and create, it results in furniture with style and presence that is simply unmatchable and highly sought after. And, Founders Furniture had been a division of Thomasville Furniture since 1965. This table and chairs set would be perfect in a sitting room or lounge area or even a breakfast nook! Want to add a little something groovy to your home? You just found it!!
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.
Founders Furniture began as an independent company in 1947. The president was Edward Thrower. They merged with Thomasville Furniture in 1965 and were sold after to the Armstrong Group. Founders Furniture Company pieces are highly sought after today.
High quality, classic style, and iconic manufacturers! This set including the 1967 New Design Idiom Table by Milo Baughman for Thayer Coggin AND two red slipper chairs...
