There are no legs, no wooden frame and no rigid structure hiding beneath the upholstery. Instead, layers of foam fold towards the floor beneath deeply pleated leather, creating something that seems halfway between furniture and a landscape for the body.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDucaroy designed Togo in 1973, at a moment when new materials were beginning to change what furniture could be. Sitting became lower, rooms became less formal, and the chair itself could finally become soft all the way through. In cognac leather, those folds take on another life as they age, gathering light, shadow and patina. More than fifty years later, Togo still feels like an invitation to live differently.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesigner\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMichel Ducaroy (1925–2009) grew up surrounded by furniture making in Lyon before studying at the École Nationale des Beaux-Arts. But rather than remaining inside the traditions he inherited, he became fascinated by the new materials and industrial possibilities emerging in postwar France.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFoam, quilting and synthetic structures allowed Ducaroy to abandon much of what had previously defined a chair. With Togo, designed in 1973, even the internal frame disappeared. What remained was almost entirely softness — a radical idea transformed into one of the most recognisable silhouettes of 20th-century furniture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLigne Roset grew from a family woodworking business founded in France in the 19th century into one of the country's defining manufacturers of contemporary furniture.
