Rick Lee: Furniture designer on Thayer Coggin's New Piece at the 2025 High Point Furniture Market

Thayer Coggin is preparing for liftoff at the Spring 2025 High Point Furniture Market with the debut of its latest eye-catching piece: the UFO Ottoman, designed by Rick Lee. Drawing inspiration from mid-century comic books and sci-fi classics like The Day the Earth Stood Still and Flying Saucer, the ottoman delivers a whimsical yet sophisticated statement piece. The UFO Ottoman comes in two sizes: a smaller, taller version ideal as a footrest or stool, and a larger model that can double as extra seating or even a stylish table surface. With its retro-futuristic design and versatile functionality, the piece is a nod to vintage imagination reimagined for today’s interiors. Designer Rick Lee joined Jeff Hamlin to share the creative vision behind this intergalactic addition to Thayer Coggin’s collection.
