Togo, impeccably dressed.
Ligne Roset’s famously relaxed seat meets the precision of BOSS tailoring. Leather, textile and a carefully placed stitch give Michel Ducaroy’s design a new expression.

A line of contrast stitching traces the leather beneath a softly folded textile seat. The silhouette is familiar: low to the ground, generously pleated, unmistakably Togo. Yet the meeting of materials gives it a different presence. There is a little more definition to its informality, a sharper edge to its ease.
For the BOSS | LIGNE ROSET Tailored Togo, the language of clothing enters the living room through the detail. The collaboration pairs a leather exterior with a soft textile seating surface, bringing two textures into the folds of one of contemporary furniture’s most recognisable designs. A matching footstool completes the limited-edition pairing.
The relationship feels particularly apt. Togo has always worn its upholstery expressively.
Designed by Michel Ducaroy in 1973, its foam construction challenged the conventions of framed seating. The body of the chair sits close to the floor, with a profile that seems to gather and fold around the sitter. It introduced a freedom that remains compelling more than half a century later: furniture shaped for a relaxed posture, with comfort evident in every crease.
Those folds also give Togo a surface on which to experiment. Change the upholstery and the same form can take on a remarkably different character. Here, the distinction between leather and textile brings the construction into focus. The leather defines the outer volume, while the softer seating surface draws attention towards the place where the body rests.

In the pale textile and warm brown leather of the pictured chair, the effect is especially tactile. Light catches the crests of the upholstery, then settles into its channels. The smooth leather beneath introduces a quieter surface, its stitching supplying a fine line of emphasis. Against the restrained architecture of the room, the chair has enough material interest to hold the composition.
This is the point at which BOSS’s tailoring codes become tangible. The care given to a seam, the relationship between contrasting textures and the way a material follows a curve are familiar concerns in clothing. Applied to Togo, they offer a fresh reading of its generous shape.

There is considerable craft beneath that apparent ease. Togo’s characteristic pleating is installed by hand, giving its casually crumpled appearance a disciplined foundation. The new material combination adds another layer to that work: the folds, joins and stitching must resolve across surfaces with different qualities.
For an interior designer, the appeal lies in this balance of expression and restraint. The chair’s outline supplies the sculptural gesture; the leather and textile provide depth at closer quarters. It can anchor a quiet corner or introduce a more intimate scale within an open living space, accompanied by the footstool or allowed to stand alone.
Togo’s original invitation remains intact. Settle in. Lean back. Stay a while.
BOSS has simply given it something rather good to wear.
