Ligne Roset Togo Fireside Chair - Alcantara Pearl

The Ligne Roset Togo Fireside Chair is perhaps the most focused expression of Michel Ducaroy’s 1973 vision, offering a single-seat sanctuary that has remained a cult classic for over half a century. Designed to support an informal, grounded way of living, this armless chair was conceived to work both as a standalone statement and as a foundational piece within the wider Togo modular range. It is particularly effective for those looking to introduce a sculptural element into a room, providing a relaxed aesthetic that feels as contemporary now as it did during its debut in the early seventies.

Hand-sewn in the French village of Briord, the chair is constructed entirely from three different densities of polyether foam, completely doing away with hard internal frames. This unique all-foam build allows the curved silhouette to provide a supportive yet inviting seat that yields to the body while maintaining its iconic, crumpled form. The characteristic pleats are a result of meticulous hand-crafting, where the fabric is folded and stitched to ensure the upholstery moves in harmony with the foam layers, creating a durable piece of furniture that is built for daily use and long-term comfort.

In a UK home, the low-slung profile of the fireside chair is ideal for creating a sense of space, making even compact urban flats feel more open and airy. It is a versatile piece that settles into a quiet corner for reading or pairs effortlessly with a Togo sofa to extend a seating landscape. For those looking to explore a wider range of upholstery finishes to suit a specific interior scheme, further fabric options are available by contacting sales@hollowaysofludlow.com. It remains a calm, authoritative choice for anyone who values design history and genuine, unpretentious relaxation.
