The Planner group of modular furniture is considered a classic of modern design and remained in production from the late 1940s until it was discontinued in 1964.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePAUL McCOBB\u003c\/b\u003e was one of the leading contemporary furniture designers in America in the 1950's and 60's. Despite a lack of formal training, he created an impressive range of multi-functional furniture, accessories, and textiles. He also took on many notable interior design projects. McCobb opened his own studio in 1945 and rose to prominence a few years later as a design and decorating consultant for Martin Feinman’s Modernage Furniture in New York City. It was there he met his future business partner, B.G. Mesberg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMcCobb capitalized on the post-war demands of young and growing families for simple, affordable, and stylish furniture. His pieces were inexpensive, flexible, and practical. He helped to popularize \"modular\" furniture, and his \"living walls\" with their moveable room dividers and storage systems perfectly fit the evolving, informal lifestyles of the period. By 1950, he had created his Planner Group line of furniture, marketed by Mesberg. Its wildly successful design adhered to a minimalist aesthetic; the line would remain in production through 1964. Other important collections followed, including the Predictor Group for O'Hearn and the Directional Group for WINCHENDON. McCobb's work commanded a large share of the American market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to furniture, McCobb designed radios and televisions for CBS-Columbia and hi-fi consoles for Bell \u0026amp; Howell. He acted as design consultant for many leading American corporations, including Singer, Alcoa, Goodyear, Columbia Records, and Remington Rand. McCobb traveled throughout America for speaking engagements, panel discussions, and radio and television talk show appearances, and his syndicated design column appeared in newspapers across the country.  He served as a visiting faculty member at the Philadelphia Museum School of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspired by his New England upbringing and influenced by Shaker Design, McCobb's work generally combined slender lines with sculptural forms. He offered a playful take on traditional forms with nods to Scandinavian craftsmanship and International Style clarity. He was the recipient of MoMA's Good Design Award five times between 1950 and 1955 as well as of the Philadelphia Museum of Arts' Contribution to Better Design Award in 1959.

The new firm quickly took on clients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA commission with Modernage Furniture proved particularly advantageous, and McCobb rose to local prominence designing displays for the store’s in-house furniture line.

Many credit this background with Baughman’s inherently unpretentious and accessible style. He was encouraged by his parents to contribute to the design of a new family home when he was thirteen—thus his path was set. After high school, Baughman served four years during World War II in the Army Air Forces, where he gained experience designing officers’ clubs. He returned to Southern California with the war’s end to formally study product and architectural design at the Art Center School of Los Angeles and the Chouinard Art Institute (later the California Institute of the Arts).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis education complete, Baughman was hired as an interior and custom furniture designer by the Frank Brothers furniture store in Long Beach. There he formed a close friendship with Georgia Christensen, the founder and publisher of \u003ci\u003eFurniture Forum\u003c\/i\u003e. In 1947, he left Frank Bros. to launch Milo Baughman Design, Inc., at the age of 24. He soon landed commissions from Glenn of California—where he would work alongside Swedish designer Greta Magnusson-Grossman (1906–1999)—and Pacific Iron. His collaboration with these Los Angeles firms would give rise to what became known as the California Modern aesthetic. The new decade took him to the country’s east coast, where he created three major lines for Drexel Furniture of North Carolina and, in 1953, \u003ci\u003eThe Milo Baughman Collection\u003c\/i\u003e for Winchendon Furniture of Winchendon, Mass. Meanwhile, he ran a custom design shop with then wife Olga Lee (1924–2014) in Los Angeles. She contributed hand-printed fabrics, wallpaper, lamps, and other accessories to go with her husband’s furniture designs, and both offered their services as interior consultants. (The Baughman-Lee showroom was located at 744 ½ N. La Cienega Blvd., Los Angeles, and operated from 1951 through 1953.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe defining partnership of Baughman’s career began in 1953 when he started working with Thayer Coggin, the High Point, N.C., manufacturer that still produces his furniture today. By the middle of the ’60s, Baughman's new collections were being presented annually at High Point Market—the world's largest home-furnishings industry trade show. His association with Thayer Coggin lasted five decades and produced enduring classics like the cantilevered \u003ci\u003e989-103 Chair\u003c\/i\u003e and the semi-circular \u003ci\u003e825-301 LAF Sofa\u003c\/i\u003e (both of 1968).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBaughman’s designs have been exhibited in museums and shows throughout the US, including the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art in Winston-Salem, N.C.; the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh; and the “High Styles” show at NYC's Whitney Museum. Baughman has lectured broadly on the state of modern design, extolling the positive benefits of good design on human life. He was inducted into the Furniture Designer’s Hall of Fame in 1987.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1965, Baughman converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He remained a passionate devotee of Mormonism until his death, establishing the Department of Environmental Design at Brigham Young University in 1969. He served there as department chair and adjunct professor for six years while continuing his professional design business. He split his time for twelve years afterwards between a farmhouse in Virginia and a home in Winston-Salem, N.C.; then back to Utah in 1987, for another nine years as a senior lecturer at BYU. He maintained a professional design studio in the state until his death on July 23, 2003.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1966, \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e wrote of the prolific designer: “Mr. Baughman and the companies he works for are among the few mass producers putting out inventive, nontraditional furniture that is widely available to the public both in terms of price and retail outlet.” Baughman’s creativity never got in the way of the functionality of his designs; to the contrary, he always struck the ideal modernist balance.

HUNGERFORD FURNITURE COMPANY\u003c\/b\u003e was a family-owned manufacturer based in Memphis, Tenn., recognized mainly for its premium solid wood bedroom furniture—produced in cherry and, most notably, in Honduras mahogany. Founded by Simeon Rice (S.R.) Hungerford, Jr., and active during the mid-20th century, the company earned a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship. Some of its designs showcased a classic, traditional style, whereas others embodied the streamlined aesthetics of the mid-century period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHUNGERFORD gained some notoriety for a 1956 marketing campaign featuring Elvis Presley that was ultimately scrapped. RCA had arranged the photoshoot with its star to help the company promote an upcoming line of furniture that included a new at-home stereo. However, HUNGERFORD executives ultimately decided that Elvis fans would generally not be in the market for expensive furniture, and the campaign was abandoned. The photos were never released during Presley’s lifetime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage HUNGERFORD pieces are often found at online retailers and consignment shops, frequently marked with an “S.R. Hungerford, Memphis TN” label. The company is generally believed to have ceased operations sometime between the late ’60s and the mid-’70s. Its decline was part of a larger trend in the American furniture industry. Multi-story urban factories were no longer competitive with the more efficient, large single-story rural facilities that had become standard. Companies were also facing efforts to unionize their workforces. Additionally, HUNGERFORD suffered competition from furniture manufacturers based in other parts of the US, particularly the Carolinas. Its closure, along with others like that of the much larger Memphis Furniture Manufacturing Company, represented the end of a major era for furniture production in Tennessee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigner – \u003cb\u003eUNKNOWN\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesign Period\/Year – \u003cb\u003e1960s\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaker – \u003cb\u003eS.R.
