These are the 5 markers of a genuine Togo couch

1. Black Ligne Roset brand tag: located in the seam position on the rear at the base of the back rest.

2. Anti-slip fabric: stitched firmly to the bottom of the Togo.

3. Fabric on the base: always lined in blue and white striped fabric.

4. Button sizing and positioning: a genuine Togo is completed with small, flat buttons in the same fabric as its body upholstery.

5. On a Fireside Chair there are only 5 buttons: 2 are stitched on the back of the seat and 3 on the base.

“One of the things that excites design enthusiasts most about Togo sofas and armchairs, is their design pedigree. Togo seating ticks a lot of boxes from that perspective,” explains Elise, who divulges exactly why style-influencers so highly prize a genuine Togo couch:

✔️ Designed by Michel Ducaroy in 1973 for French master-crafters, Ligne Roset.

✔️ An award winning sofa design, which has stood the test of time as a design icon.

✔️ Design-devotes enjoy the comfort and pleasure of the real thing.

✔️ Holds its resale value, including originals from the 1970s.

 

Genuine Togo couches and armchairs are an iconic piece of designer furniture that is not only stylish, but conformable. It’s coveted, slouchy design is highly desired – and sometimes waitlists delay gratification.
