The Togo is a low, quilted, all-foam seating system designed by Michel Ducaroy for Ligne Roset in 1973. It is sold in pieces, so the real answers to “how much?” and “will it fit?” depend on which pieces you pick. As of October 25, 2026, Ligne Roset’s US site lists new seating from $3,590 (fireside chair) to $8,865 (very large sofa without arms).
What a Togo actually is
Ligne Roset describes the structure as three densities of polyether foam, with a quilted, polyester-filled cover that is not removable. Design Within Reach adds that Ducaroy dropped the usual sofa base and frame, so the piece is made entirely of multi-density foam.
Skip any listing that mentions wood frames or springs. That also changes how you shop. The frame-and-spring checklist in our luxury living room furniture guide doesn’t apply here, because the questions that matter are foam, cover fabric, and construction.
The pieces: sizes and current prices
Prices are “starting from” figures on Ligne Roset’s US site as of October 25, 2026, and they change with fabric. All pieces are 27 inches high.
| Piece | Width × depth | Starting price |
|---|---|---|
| Fireside chair | 34 × 40 in | $3,590 |
| Corner seat | 40 × 40 in | $5,090 |
| Loveseat without arms | 51 × 40 in | $5,120 |
| Lounge | 51 × 63 in | $5,895 |
| Sofa without arms (3 seats) | 68 × 40 in | $6,675 |
| Medium sofa (with arms, 3 seats) | 78 × 40 in | $11,240 as displayed |
| Very large sofa without arms (4 seats) | 87 × 40 in | $8,865 |
| Ottoman | 34 × 31 in | $2,360 |
Multi-piece compositions start at $13,800. The “Togo sofa” most retailers show is the 68-inch piece. DWR lists it at $11,495 in velvet, well above Ligne Roset’s starting price, so confirm the final fabric price before comparing.
Will it fit?
Every seating piece is 40 inches deep, except the 63-inch Lounge, and the seat sits 15 inches high. The Medium sofa is listed at about 66 pounds, which helps on stairs but doesn’t replace measuring.
Here is a footprint example using the ranges in our guide to choosing living room furniture. This is an editorial calculation, and the table depth is my assumption:
- sofa depth: 40 in
- gap to coffee table: 16 in
- table depth: 20 in
- walkway behind the table: 32 in
40 + 16 + 20 + 32 = 108 inches, or 9 feet front to back. If your room is shorter, step down to a loveseat or fireside chair.
With a 15-inch seat, a coffee table should sit at or just below seat height, so choose a low one.
Four ways to get a Togo
New from Ligne Roset. You get the full range of sizes and fabrics. The cost is the price and a lead time that depends on the piece.
Togo File. This is an official online-only edition in one beige fabric. Ligne Roset’s Togo File page lists the fireside chair from $2,910 and the loveseat from $4,145, with delivery in 5 to 8 weeks. Starting prices run $680 and $975 below the standard versions, though fabrics differ, so the comparison isn’t exact.
Pre-owned. I couldn’t verify current resale prices, so check live listings. Look for a Ligne Roset label, and expect “made in France” on genuine pieces, per DWR. Every Togo made since March 2025 carries a QR passport that activates a certificate of authenticity, so older pieces won’t have one. Ask the seller for photos of the label and any proof of purchase. Our guide to buying used versus new covers the broader trade-offs.
A replica. Seller listings I saw start around $500 for an ottoman and reach roughly $2,050 for larger pieces. Durability claims on those pages come from the sellers, and I haven’t tested any of them. Before buying, ask for:
- the foam construction (several densities or one block)
- a stated foam-density figure
- whether the cover is removable
- the return window and warranty in writing
- the exact dimensions
Is a Togo right for you?
These are editorial judgments, not test results.
- Low seat: if anyone in your home finds low seats hard to get out of, sit in one at a showroom first.
- Pets and kids: the cover can’t come off, so choose the fabric deliberately. Ligne Roset describes some of its fabrics as hard-wearing, such as Alcantara microfibre and certain wools. I found no Togo-specific cleaning guidance, and Ligne Roset’s general advice is to ask a specialist cleaner.
- How you sit: Livingetc describes the shape as inviting you to sink in or lie across it, yet still workable for conversation. It is a lounging seat first.
- Growing later: because it’s modular, you can start with a loveseat and add pieces.
