Milo Baughman Mirrored Chrome Cube Chair Thayer Coggin 1970s

Creator: Milo Baughman - Thayer Coggin
Offered by: Appleton

Description
An iconic design by Milo Baughman for Thayer Coggin, this Model 2122 lounge chair from the 1970s is a striking example of American modernism at its most refined. Reupholstered in an off-white bouclé, the chair offers a cool, tactile contrast to its sleek, polished chrome frame.

A true cube form, this chair is solid and substantial, both visually and physically—reflecting Baughman’s commitment to bold geometry and enduring construction.

Milo Baughman (1923–2003) was a leading voice in mid-century American design, known for blending modernist simplicity with luxurious materials. His long collaboration with Thayer Coggin produced some of the era’s most celebrated furniture, marked by clean lines, comfort, and timeless appeal.

The 2122 model exemplifies these ideals: low-slung, deeply cushioned, and structurally crisp, it remains as relevant today as it was nearly five decades ago.

This particular example has been meticulously restored with new upholstery while retaining its original chrome frame is in good vintage condition with some signs of age ( see photos).

The chair’s heavy frame and enduring presence make it a perfect anchor for any contemporary or classic interior. A collector’s piece and a decorator’s dream, the 2122 lounge chair was a low production model that combines sculptural form with functional comfort in a way few designs achieve.

The new upholstery is an off white wool boucle that shows well against the mirrored chrome frame.

The arm height is 21.5 inches. The cushion back is 31.5 inches in height.

A very cool classic interpretation of a bauhaus or art deco chair.

One of two available.
