Title: Set of Two ( 2 ) Mid-Century Modern Parsons Chairs in Original Fabric Attributed to Milo Baughman, USA, c. 1960s
About: This elegant set of two Mid-Century Modern Parsons chairs, attributed to the iconic designer Milo Baughman, showcases the refined simplicity of 1960s American design. Crafted with clean, architectural lines, the chairs feature a rectangular frame with a low, cushioned back and seat, upholstered in their original fabric—a subtle, textured weave in a soft neutral tone that enhances their timeless appeal. The legs, uniquely wrapped in the same fabric, create a seamless, upholstered look that amplifies the chair’s cohesive elegance. This minimalist silhouette reflects Baughman’s mastery of balancing form and function. Perfect for a dining space, office, or collector’s curated interior, this set embodies the sophisticated elegance and enduring craftsmanship of mid-century design.
Milo Baughman (1923–2003) was an influential American furniture designer whose work defined the Mid-Century Modern aesthetic. Born in Kansas and raised in California, Baughman began his career in the 1940s, collaborating with notable manufacturers like Thayer Coggin, with whom he partnered for over 50 years. Known for his sleek, minimalist designs and innovative use of materials such as steel, glass, and wood, Baughman’s creations often featured clean lines and a luxurious yet functional approach. His Parsons chairs, characterized by their architectural simplicity, became a hallmark of mid-century style, earning him widespread recognition and a lasting legacy among collectors and designers.
