The story
Folded, not built
In 1973 Ligne Roset showed a seat in Paris that had no legs, no springs and no frame. Half a century later the Togo is one of the most recognised pieces of French design, and the originals are the ones collectors look for.
I
A tube of toothpaste
Michel Ducaroy, trained at the École des Beaux-Arts de Lyon and raised in a family of furniture makers, found the form on an ordinary evening: a tube of toothpaste folding back on itself. He imagined a seat shaped like a stovepipe closed at both ends, and drew the Togo from it.
II
All foam, no frame
The Togo was the first sofa made entirely of foam. There is no internal structure: the shape comes from layered foam and a quilted cover whose pleats are stitched to hold it. It sits low and crumpled, and gives to the body rather than holding it upright.
III
Slow to sell, impossible to forget
At first the Togo sold slowly. It won the René-Gabriel prize for innovative, democratic furniture, and by the 1980s it had reached the offices of President François Mitterrand. More than a million have been made since. The pieces in this sale date from its first two decades.
