Design Icon: The Togo Sofa

Meet the Togo sofa, an icon born from the creative genius of French designer Michel Ducaroy in 1973. This legendary piece, designed for Ligne Roset, stood the test of time and become a symbol of design and comfort.

Inspired by a simple observation of his toothpaste tube, Ducaroy envisioned a sofa with curves that mimic the folds of a stovepipe, giving birth to the unique and crumpled appearance of the Togo. Despite initial skepticism at its unveiling, the sofa -made entirely of polyurethane foam- won the René-Gabriel prize for its innovative approach to furniture.

What sets the Togo apart is not just its distinctive look but also its craftsmanship. Ligne Roset, the brand behind its production, still employs skilled craftsmen who spend hours building each piece, making it not just a piece of furniture but a true work of art.

Over nearly 50 years, the Togo has evolved, with new styles and upholstery options, including a children’s version. Its success is evident, with over 1.2 million pieces sold worldwide, and rare original productions becoming highly sought after by collectors.

The original Togo is available in 8 different versions, with a choice of a minimum of 50 materials and over 500 colors for each variant. The price is strongly determined by the selected version, starting at $1045 for the Mini Togo, while the largest sofa, the Togo Composition, starts at $7300.
