The Togo sofa by Michel Ducaroy is one of the most recognisable pieces of furniture ever designed. Created in 1973 for Ligne Roset, it was the first sofa made entirely of foam — no internal frame, no springs, no rigid structure. Just sculpted polyether foam wrapped in quilted fabric or leather.

Fifty years later, the Togo remains in continuous production and is more popular than ever. Here's why it works so well in Hong Kong.

Why the Togo Is Perfect for Hong Kong

• Low profile — At just 70cm high, the Togo sits below window sills and doesn't block sightlines in compact rooms
• Modular — Buy a single seat, a 2-seater, a 3-seater, or a corner module. Combine them as your space allows
• Lightweight — No frame means it's easy to move and reconfigure
• Floor-level living — The Togo's low seating height creates a relaxed, Japanese-influenced atmosphere
• Comfort — Multiple foam densities create ergonomic support without any rigid structure

Fabric vs. Leather

• Fabric (Alcantara, Ploeg) — Softer feel, wider colour range, easier to clean with removable covers. Better for humid Hong Kong climates
• Leather — Ages beautifully, develops patina. Requires conditioning in Hong Kong's humidity. Premium option
