Show Notes

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.
