DESIGNERS TO KNOW: TIMOTHY GODBOLD

Timothy Godbold, fashion designer turned interior designer, creates refreshing, refined, spaces. Godbold began his career working with Ralph Lauren and had his own label and he has recently published a book on military style. His cream colored, masculine spaces are absolutely inviting and comfortable. Sticking to a strict scheme of mixed neutrals, the visual interest comes through finishes and textures: white walls and rugs, shearling, warm woods, saddle leather, natural linens. This tight scheme keeps the spaces subdued and relaxing but highly sophisticated, and allows him to adventure with sculptural pieces and forms.

Godbold’s spaces have enough pieces to feel filled and finished, but no more. This restraint in space planning and decoration mirrors the restrained palette, creating rooms that do not overwhelm. The often masculine, modern pieces are juxtaposed against the softness of the upholstery and color scheme for serene balance.

MILO BAUGHMAN

Milo Baughman was an American modern furniture designer. His career began during his service in World War II, designing officer’s clubs. After returning from war, he went on to study at the Art Center School of Los Angeles and Chouinard Art Institute. He then established his own design practice while also designing for other manufacturers, such as Glenn of California, Pacific Iron, Drexel, and most notably with Thayer Coggin. This collaboration lasted for 50 years and include some of Baughman’s most well known designs.

Baughman’s designs are without frills: the interest and excitement is baked into the forms and materials he employs. Using rich wood, upholstery, lucite, and chrome, his pieces are practical enough to fit into any home but almost sculptural enough to be works of art. The lines are intentional and bold with sleek curves or perfect right angles. In avoiding extra details, every element of his designs are carefully chosen and elegantly considered. Even his most adventurous pieces are appropriate in scale and usability. For example, the rosewood coffee table top appears to hover with its lucite legs, or the rosewood credenza looks as if three wooden cubes are suspended in air with the chrome body. Baughman’s furniture pieces have remained timeless due to the use of classic materials and simple design.
