Togo sofa set

When French designer Michel Ducaroy presented the Togo to Ligne Roset in 1973, he described it as "a tube of toothpaste folded back on itself." A graduate of the École des Beaux-Arts de Lyon and a third-generation furniture maker, Ducaroy abandoned the rigid frame altogether: the Togo is built entirely of polyester fibre and polyurethane foam, with no internal structure at all. The result was a sofa that sat low to the ground, embraced its occupants, and broke decisively with the upright formality of post-war French upholstery.

Awarded the René-Gabriel Prize in 1973, the Togo has since sold more than 1.5 million units across 72 countries and is held in the permanent collections of the Centre Pompidou Paris and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs. It remains one of the most enduring icons of 1970s French design.
