You don't restyle a room around a Togo. You let the Togo set the terms. Michel Ducaroy drew it for Ligne Roset in 1973: all foam, no frame, generously quilted into the low, three-dimensional character that nothing else has matched. Every Togo sofa here is an original, authenticated and restored, then delivered in 1 to 5 days. Originals only.
The Togo Sofa, Designed by Michel Ducaroy in 1973
The Togo is a rare seventies-inspired design that never reads as period costume. Michel Ducaroy built the whole Togo collection from foam construction alone, no internal frame, then wrapped it in a generously quilted, rhythmic motif of folds. The result is a low, three-dimensional character that invites afternoon siestas as readily as it anchors a serious room. It is a modern design that has stayed modern for fifty years.
Covering material is where each Togo earns its personality. Over the years, the Togo has worn fabric, corduroy, knitted velvet, Alcantara and leather, each an ideal covering material for a different mood. The originals at REHAUS currently span Alcantara, leather, suede and bouclé: Alcantara for a soft feel and an incomparable velvety effect, leather for a finish that is highly durable and extremely hard-wearing and only improves with age. The covering changes the character of the piece more than its silhouette, so two Togos can feel like different sofas.
A new three-seater Togo is around £4,000 to £5,000, with larger modular sets running well past £10,000, and an 8 to 16 week wait. Every original here is authenticated, restored where needed, and delivered in 1 to 5 days, usually at around half the new price. Design doesn't depreciate. The Forever Guarantee and a 30-day home trial mean reduced risk on a piece made to be lived on, not protected from. Browse the originals.
The Togo sofa: frequently asked questions
What is the Togo sofa?
The Togo is a low, frameless sofa designed by Michel Ducaroy for Ligne Roset in 1973. It is built entirely from foam, generously quilted into a soft, three-dimensional shape with no wooden or metal structure inside. Seventies-inspired in origin, it has stayed in continuous production and remains one of the most recognised modern designs in the world.
Who designed the Togo, and for which brand?
Michel Ducaroy designed the Togo in 1973 for the French house Ligne Roset, which still makes it today. His idea was unusually simple: comfort drawn entirely from folded foam, with no frame. That distinctive construction gave the Togo its rolling, quilted character and made it ideal for lounging and the occasional afternoon siesta.
What covers does the Togo come in?
Across its life, the Togo has appeared in fabric, corduroy, knitted velvet, Alcantara and leather. The originals at REHAUS currently span Alcantara, leather, suede and bouclé. Alcantara gives a soft feel and a velvety effect, while leather is highly durable and extremely hard-wearing. Covering choice changes the character of the piece more than its silhouette, so two Togos can feel like different sofas.
How much is a Togo sofa, new versus pre-owned?
A new three-seater Togo is around £4,000 to £5,000, with larger modular sets well past £10,000 and an 8 to 16 week lead time. A pre-owned original at REHAUS, authenticated and restored, usually lands near half that and arrives in 1 to 5 days. The difference reflects buying the original second time around, not a discount on a copy.
Is a pre-owned Togo worth buying?
Yes. The Togo is all foam with no frame to loosen or crack, so a well-kept original ages slowly and is straightforward to restore. Every Togo at REHAUS is authenticated, checked and refreshed where needed, then backed by the Forever Guarantee and a 30-day home trial. You own the original design at a fraction of the new, with reduced risk.
How is the Togo delivered, and can I return it?
Each Togo is delivered in 1 to 5 days, with white-glove delivery complimentary on qualifying orders. Every piece comes with a 30-day home trial, so you can live with it before committing. If it is not right, returns are straightforward. Because each original is one of one, a piece is only truly yours once it has shipped.
Is the Togo durable for everyday use?
Very. Foam construction and tightly quilted covers make the Togo extremely hard-wearing, and covers from Alcantara to leather are chosen to maintain their look under daily use. Marking is easier to manage than on framed upholstery, and covers can be cleaned or, on many models, replaced, so an original stays presentable for decades.
Why buy a Togo from REHAUS?
REHAUS sells originals only, never copies or reproductions. Every Togo is authenticated against the Ligne Roset original, restored to a high standard, and delivered fast across the UK. You get the real Michel Ducaroy design, the Forever Guarantee and a 30-day home trial.
