Milo Baughman

Milo Ray Baughman, Jr. (October 7, 1923 – July 23, 2003) born in Goodland, Kansas, was a modern furniture designer.

He is most well known, however, for his longtime association with Thayer Coggin Inc., of High Point, NC, which began in 1953 and lasted until his death in 2003.

Following high school he served for four years in the Army Air Forces during World War II, during which time he was active in designing officer's clubs.

He left Frank Brothers in 1947 to establish "Milo Baughman Design Inc.," and quickly did commissions for Glenn of California and Pacific Iron.

[2] Next, the large furniture manufacturer Drexel invited him to their North Carolina headquarters to create three collections.

Lee contributed hand printed fabrics, wallpaper, lamps and accessories to go alongside Baughman's furniture designs; both offered their services as interior consultants.
