Michel Ducaroy
While his name remains inseparable from the celebrated Togo sofa, created in 1973, Michel Ducaroy is also the author of numerous creations that have become iconic: sofas, armchairs, slipper chairs, modular wall shelving, bookcases, and storage units
Michel Ducaroy (1925–2009) ranks among the most influential French designers of the 20th century. Joining Ligne Roset in the 1950s, he played an active role in transforming the family business into one of the leading publishers of French design furniture. His approach combined technical innovation, comfort, and functionality, favoring forms adapted to new ways of living.
While his name remains inseparable from the famous Togo sofa, created in 1973, Michel Ducaroy also designed many other now-iconic pieces: sofas, armchairs, lounge chairs, modular wall shelving, bookcases, and storage furniture. His work reflects a constant pursuit of simplicity, modularity, and elegance, making extensive use of new materials and industrial techniques that defined the 1970s.
The Togo sofa, created by Michel Ducaroy for Ligne Roset in 1973, has become one of the key references of French 1970s designer furniture.
Michel Ducaroy’s creations for Ligne Roset appeal as much for their quality of construction as for their remarkable timelessness. Still sought after by enthusiasts of design chairs, vintage chairs, and 20th-century French furniture, his pieces find their place naturally in a contemporary interior as well as in a collection devoted to 1960s and 1970s design.
