Description from the seller
Michel Ducaroy's Togo Sofa for Ligne Roset
Icon of 20th-century design, the two-seater Togo sofa is presented in this auction in an extremely distinctive form, with a high-quality gray Alcantara upholstery. This model, conceived by Michel Ducaroy in 1973, redefined the concept of seating, introducing an entirely new aesthetic based on softness and relaxation.
Design and history:
The distinctive feature of the Togo sofa is its structure entirely made of polyurethane foam. This design, avant-garde for the era and the result of the new possibilities offered by polyurethane materials in the 1970s, emphasizes the fluidity of the forms and the meticulous upholstery, giving the sofa an casual, timeless elegance.
The history of Togo is closely linked to Michel Ducaroy's vision, who conceived furnishings as objects not only functional but capable of evoking a sense of warmth and well-being, naturally adapting to the relaxed postures of the human body.
Auction conditions:
The auction lot consists of a two-seater sofa of Ligne Roset production and is in good used condition:
Comfort: the internal polyurethane foam padding, still intact and robust, maintains its original softness, ensuring optimal comfort.
Upholstery: the gray Alcantara upholstery is intact and has been disassembled and professionally washed by a upholsterer, ensuring cleaning and sanitation.
There are slight signs of wear in three points as highlighted in the photo, coherent with the piece’s age.
Authenticity: originality is guaranteed by the original Ligne Roset label sewn on the back.
Dimensions:
Width: 131 cm
Depth: 102 cm
Height: 70 cm

Michel Ducaroy (1925-2009) was a French designer trained at the École Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Lyon. After a long and fruitful collaboration with Roset, he is universally recognized for the Togo sofa, which remains his most iconic and successful piece.
