apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

i love the togo chairs/sofa. unfortunately, i can't imagine that it would be comfy to lay down on. i did find it extremely comfy to sit in. I could imagine having a bunch of these in my living room - literally imagine, not actually own, because they are so expensive.

Peugeot Automobiles for years used (maybe still do?) the same foam in their seats that Ligne Roset uses for Togo: No springs like other carmakers.

cute but not something i would put in the living room

When I was 10, I vowed it would be my first sofa when I moved out of the house -- I'd fallen in love with it at the homes of 2 different sets of my parents' friends, who both had it in their living rooms.

And I did.

That was... well, a very long time ago. My husband and I bought our second set this past June, as we are still in love with it. It is still in our living room, it is super comfy to nap on, the perfect furniture to become a couch potato, and loads of fun for kids.

(we now live less than 2 hours from the factory in which they are made, saving on shipping costs, and there are usually sales on it twice a year)

My parents bought this couch in 1985, and I also wanted to buy one for myself (fortunately for my parents, the price was much less in 1985, and they were able to also use a design discount).

The couch is extremely comfortable to lay on, in fact, I used to have slumber parties on it as a kid, and me and my friends would prefer to sleep on that than in my room. The couch lasted for about 22 years (we had camel color leather), and the only reason that some of the pieces started falling apart a little was because we had a dog for the about 14 of those 22 years.

I have always loved this couch, and would highly recommend buying it. I would point you towards a leather version because it would probably last a little longer than some of the other materials.
