Milo Baughman
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.

- Connant Ball Revival 5 Drawer Low Chest Nice LegsLocated in Fraser, MIConnant Ball 5 drawer chest. American Revival circa 1935. These legs are really lovely. The chest appears to have had a faux bird's-eye finish. The finish on the top is not perfect. The overall patina is pretty nice. We can lightly refinish the top if you specify at time of check-out. The front has some light spots in the faux finish which seem to be part of the character. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Historical Note: Sort of curious that this is made by Connant Ball, a company pivotal to the advancement of American Modern Design in the mid 20th century. After the Century of Progress Worlds Fair in Chicago, Connant Ball contracted Russell Wright to design a branded line of blonde sold panel furniture (c.1935). The Russell Wright for Connant Ball line was an early bubble example of Desginer branded marketing for Furniture; American Modern furniture. After WWII the company contracted the gentleman Leslie Diamond to design a broader line of modern furniture in blonde solid panel construction (c.1947). Connant Ball did not initiate ad campaigns for designer branded furniture with Leslie Diamond, as they did with the Russel Wright furniture...Category
