As you may see above, today's post is categorized as both Furniture & Artist. The reason for this is- Milo Baughman. Milo Baughman was an amazing furniture designer whom I consider an artist (I think all forward thinking furniture designers are artists so in my coming furniture posts I will not repeat this but categorize under Furniture from now on :)).
Milo Baughman was one of the leading modern furniture designers of the second half of the 20th century. His pieces showcase how far in advance he was with his amazing modern thinking. His furniture is so perfectly clean lined, glamorous, sexy and timeless, I just go gaga for it.
Milo's pieces have clean lines, incorporate beautiful brushed or polished chrome & brass elements. These metal details are usually used as an outside frame of the furniture, also as legs and many of his pieces use the metal detail throughout the back. This is why I love his furniture pieces so much, I just love the simplicity yet so much interest that goes into every one of these works of art & the fact that the backs of most of his pieces are so beautiful is where I melt.
If you love modern furnishings like I do, then I am sure you came across some of his designs or perhaps some pieces that were modeled after his designs.
Take a look at some fabulous examples of his work:
I am in LOVE with these 1970's tufted arm chairs I am on a hunt for four which could be reupholstered. Something about the amazing slim sleek chrome frame and the stunning back profile while still having a beautifully tufted and comfortable chair. The addition of the arm pads is like whip cream on a strawberry. Delish!
