A distinctive and sculptural lounge chair by Thayer Coggin — one of the most celebrated American furniture manufacturers of the mid-century and postmodern periods, founded in 1953 and long associated with the design legacy of Milo Baughman. This chair features a bold steel arm frame with dramatically bowed arms that extend behind the back — a signature gesture of architectural confidence — upholstered in a colorful patterned tapestry fabric. Bears the original Thayer Coggin label.

Thayer Coggin pieces are actively collected and appear regularly on 1stDibs, Chairish, and at major design auction houses. The label is a significant provenance marker that distinguishes this piece in the marketplace.
