Description
Designed by Michel Ducaroy for Ligne Roset in 1973, the Togo remains one of the most recognizable seating designs of the 20th century. Its distinctive low profile, deeply pleated construction, and all-foam structure create a form that is both sculptural and exceptionally comfortable. Sourced in Europe and restored in-house by our team. The original internal structure has been preserved.
This particular Togo fireside chair stands out for its unique upholstery in natural cowhide, giving the piece a highly individual character. This chair a one-of-a-kind example of the classic design. The contrast between the soft, relaxed silhouette of the Togo and the raw texture of the hide creates a striking visual presence.
Designed without a rigid internal frame, the Togo relies on carefully layered foam construction that allows the body to sink naturally into the chair while maintaining support. This construction, together with its instantly recognizable pleated upholstery, has made the Togo an enduring icon of modern French design.
