"When I left Art Center, I thought Modern design would change the world. Now, I no longer have such lofty hopes, but perhaps the world is just a bit better off because of it. In any event, good Modern has already proven to be the most enduring, timeless and classic of all design movements."- Milo Baughman

With great pleasure, the Wasser's were able to attend this festive affair!

"With an ongoing interest in 1950s and 1960s design, a lot of my work has been reintroduced and been very well-received. Increasingly, architects are using these mid-century classics from the pioneer producers of this period."-Milo Baughman On Oct 21st 2013, the Wasser's Furniture family was invited to share in the celebration of Thayer Coggin's 60th anniversary while honoring a true design star in the modern furniture industry Milo Baughman. The Party was decked out with 60's themed decor, drinks, games and even guests and bartenders dressed up for the part! We had the honor of meeting the Coggin/Baughman family that evening. It was a delight meeting Debbie Baughman, daughter of Milo Baugman, who was an absolute pleasure to spend quality time with and get to speak to at this lovely party. Before the party, I fell in love with the scoop chair and purchased it for our showroom. Later that night, I asked Debbie to take a picture in the chair her father designed, so I can place it in my showroom where we will be displaying a Thayer Coggin/Milo Baughman gallery to showcase some the beautiful designs. Her reply was, "I had no idea my father was so famous, but I'd be happy to!"
