Motion seating by Thayer Coggin, just like all other items within this iconic luxury furniture brand, is bench-made in High Point, North Carolina and custom upholstered to order. With the astounding assortment of fabrics and leathers available… plus wood and metal options on select models… you’re bound to find a motion chair that gets your heart rate up, whether you’re rocking, swiveling, or sitting perfectly still.

Milo Baughman’s motion seating for Thayer Coggin dates back to the 1960s, when the famous American designer was in his prime. Papa Roxy, an original design by Baughman in 1965, is a modern classic that features Thayer Coggin’s unique swivel-tilt mechanism and built-in lumbar support. The enduring style of this stunning swivel-tilt tub chair means it will never fail to impress. And much like a snuggle or hug from a loved one—which is precisely the feeling this designer swivel chair evokes—it can always be relied upon to provide the ultimate comfort.

Likewise, Baughman’s Good Egg Swivel Chair, which the great American designer conceived in 1967, is a midcentury modern classic that features a brushed metal base and revolutionary barrel construction. Truly a showstopper, this is one motion chair that will have your guests talking. It’s also one you’ll be anxious to sink into at the end of a long, busy day.

Still going full throttle in 1980, Milo Baughman and Thayer Coggin introduced the Mercury Swivel Rocking Chair. This designer rocking chair is poetry in motion; you don’t just sit in it, you virtually drive it. The Mercury Swivel Rocking Lounge Chair boasts a unique swivel rocking mechanism, curvaceous styling, and optimal comfort. Get ready for a smooth “ride”.

Following Baughman’s blueprint for making a piece of furniture that steals the scene, designer Rick Lee created the cozy and curvilinear Left Wing Swivel Chair. This sculptural statement piece is ergonomic in design and playful in aesthetic. Pair it with its counterpart, the Right Wing Swivel Chair, and lively discussions are sure to transpire.

Then, there’s Ransom Culler’s Bubble Swivel Chair. Bursting with Pop Art influences, the Thayer Coggin Bubble Chair features a handcrafted, solid maple conical base with a spherical upholstery frame and built-in lumbar support. Whether you’re motivated to swive around and socialize, or escape into your own private “bubble”, the Bubble Swivel Chair by Ransom Culler for Thayer Coggin will have you floating on air.
