Also included are 2 matching foot stool / ottomans which we have never seen accompanying this sofa before. The footstools are extremely rare and have four wheeled rollers. Paper tags attached to ottoman. Rosewood plinth base (not feet) to sofa which was a more expensive option at the time. Base is in overall good condition with a few minor chips.

Some of the seat cushions have flattened and will need additional stuffing. Each sofa section measures 29″ high, 164″ diameter, 34 deep. It’s a bit of a project but there is no cooler sofa on the planet! About Milo Baughman (Designer). 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, having 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. Baughman 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 chair 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. Milo Baughman’s designs are ably employed as either the heart of a décor or its focal point. Take a look at our other great listings! A B O U T.
