Togo® Designed by Michel Ducaroy for Ligne Roset.
This is a very special model of the Togo® Sofa Without Arms, made to celebrate the Togo's 50th Anniversary in 2023. The 50th Anniversary occasion was marked by the release of two limited-edition fabrics for the Togo®: Atom by Kvadrat and La Toile du Peintre by Pierre Frey. One a minimalist’s monotone-speckled dream, the other for lovers of color and pattern.
This sofa is one of a kind, in stock, and ready to ship.
History of the Togo®
In the 1970s, new materials – foams, quilting, thermoformed plastics, and more – hit the market, opening up the possibilities for new seating concepts. Ligne Roset developed innovative production techniques to match, and with them came the first all-foam range of modular seating. The spirit of innovation was high, and designer Michel Ducaroy was riding that wave when he thought up the Togo “seat-cushion.”
First presented at the Salon des Arts Ménagers in Paris in 1973, viewers of Togo were doubtful, but the fair’s organizers were not. The seating won Ducaroy the René-Gabriel prize, which recognized “innovative and democratic furniture” for pieces which offered the right price/value relationship.
Ducaroy often described Togo’s form as “a tube of toothpaste folded back on itself like a stovepipe and closed at both ends.” The design was a hit with the hippie generation then, and has turned up in the most stylish of hotels and celebrity homes since. The sofa’s soft wrinkles continue to attract attention to this day, becoming Ligne Roset’s star product and bestseller.
While the wrinkled nature of Togo’s design is a pattern in its own right, La Toile du Peintre by Pierre Frey acts as a contemporary enhancement. The large graphic pattern that’s bursting with color is a reinterpretation of a piece by painter Heather Chontos, an ode to artistic expression.
