Ligne Roset celebrates the Togo 50th anniversary
Designed by Michel Ducaroy in the same year as the launch of the Ligne Roset brand, it has always been produced in the factories in Briord, a small village in the Bugey region which nestles in the foothills of the Jura mountains.

Michel Ducaroy, designer du Togo
Since 1973, the Togo went on to achieve sales of close on 1 500 000 pieces in 72 countries around the world.
A symbol of the changing times post 1968 – “ trouver la plage sous les pavés ” (literally, “ finding the beach beneath the paving stones ” – a saying used to suggest that the possibilities are endless) – Togo is also the fruit of Michel Ducaroy’s reflections on the almost limitless formal possibilities offered by the new materials such as quality foams and polyester quilting.
Limited edition Atom
From June 2023, Togo is upholstered, in a limite edition of 878 copies worldwide, in the Atom fabric with colours of Bouleau, Labradorite and Confettis, imagined by the Belgian fashion designer Raf Simons for Kvadrat.
Atom is a vibrant and experimental bouclé fabric with no visible repeat. It is inspired by fragments of pointillist landscapes in expressionist paintings.
The textile features speckles of colour that seem randomly scattered across its surface. Bold, contrasting yarns show Simons’ characteristic flair with colour.
Only available in the stores that have pre-ordered this version.
