Ligne Roset Togo Sofa — Complete Buying Guide for Hong Kong

The Ligne Roset Togo sofa is one of the most recognisable pieces of furniture ever designed. Created by Michel Ducaroy in 1973, the Togo was revolutionary — a sofa made entirely of foam, with no internal frame, that moulds to your body like no other seating. Over 50 years later, it remains Ligne Roset's best-selling design and a fixture in design-conscious homes worldwide. Here is everything you need to know about buying a Togo in Hong Kong.

What Makes the Togo Special

The Togo's design is deceptively simple. Multiple densities of polyether foam are layered and shaped to create a seat that is both supportive and incredibly comfortable. The signature pleated cover — inspired by a tube of toothpaste — is not just decorative; it allows the foam to flex and breathe as you sit. There is no wooden frame, no springs, no metal — just foam and fabric.

This construction means the Togo is remarkably lightweight (the fireside chair weighs just 12kg) and virtually indestructible. The foam retains its shape for decades, and the removable cover can be dry-cleaned or replaced.

Togo Models

The Togo family includes several pieces that can be used individually or combined into a modular system:

• Togo Fireside Chair — The original single seat. Perfect as a reading chair or accent piece.
• Togo Large Settee — The two-seater. The most popular Togo for Hong Kong apartments.
• Togo Small Settee — A compact two-seater for smaller spaces.
• Togo Corner Seat — Connects two Togo pieces at a right angle to create an L-shape.
• Mini Togo — A child-sized version that is also popular as a pet bed or floor cushion.

Togo pieces connect to each other using a simple clip system, so you can build a sectional sofa that fits your exact space. A common Hong Kong configuration is a Large Settee + Corner + Fireside Chair, creating a generous L-shaped sofa.

Togo Fabrics and Leather

The Togo is available in Ligne Roset's full fabric and leather range — hundreds of options from cotton and linen to velvet, wool, and full-grain leather. Popular choices in Hong Kong include:

• Alcantara — Stain-resistant and easy to clean, ideal for families
• Leather — Ages beautifully and develops character over time
• Cotton/linen blends — Breathable and comfortable in Hong Kong's climate

As an authorised Ligne Roset dealer, MyConcept can order any fabric from the full Ligne Roset collection. We keep fabric sample books in our showroom so you can see and feel the materials before ordering. Parallel importers typically offer only 3-5 fabric options.

Buying a Togo in Hong Kong: What to Know

Authorised Dealer vs Parallel Import

The Togo is one of the most parallel-imported furniture pieces in Hong Kong due to its popularity and recognisable design. Here is why buying from an authorised dealer matters:

• Fabric range — Authorised dealers offer the full Ligne Roset fabric collection (200+ options). Parallel importers stock a handful of colours.
• Warranty — Ligne Roset's manufacturer warranty applies only to purchases from authorised dealers. Foam quality, stitching, and structural integrity are covered.
• Foam quality — Genuine Togo sofas use specific foam densities developed by Ligne Roset over decades. The foam is the sofa — if the foam quality is wrong, the comfort and longevity are compromised. There is no way to verify foam quality from photos alone.
• Cover replacement — Togo covers are removable and replaceable. Through an authorised dealer, you can order a new cover in any fabric years later. This effectively gives your Togo a second life.

Togo Dimensions for Hong Kong Apartments

The Togo is well-suited to Hong Kong living spaces:

• Fireside Chair: W87 × D102 × H70 cm
• Large Settee: W131 × D102 × H70 cm
• Corner: W102 × D102 × H70 cm

The low seat height (32cm) makes the Togo feel less imposing in small rooms compared to traditional sofas. It also works beautifully in open-plan spaces where you want seating that does not block sightlines.

Caring for Your Togo

The Togo is remarkably low-maintenance:

• Fabric covers can be removed and dry-cleaned
• Rotate cushion positions occasionally to ensure even wear
• In Hong Kong's humid climate, ensure good air circulation around the sofa to prevent moisture buildup in the foam
• Avoid direct sunlight which can fade fabric colours over time
