The Tailored Reverie: BOSS Dresses The Iconic Togo by Ligne Roset In Decadent Modernity

Reynaldo did not believe in coincidence—only in chemistry. And the moment he stepped into the Ligne Roset showroom in Paris, somewhere between a perfectly angled spotlight and the soft hush of cultivated luxury, he felt it: a magnetic, almost scandalous attraction to a chair.

Not just any chair, of course. This was the limited-edition Togo by BOSS and Ligne Roset—a collaboration so assured, so elegantly self-aware, it practically purred.

Reynaldo, 45, Spanish, gloriously opinionated and currently sourcing pieces for a Manchester client’s Marbella retreat, approached it like one might approach a beautiful stranger: cautiously at first, then all at once.

The famed Togo—originally designed in 1973 by Michel Ducaroy—had always been a study in rebellion, its low-slung, foam-only construction defying traditional upholstery with a silhouette often likened (fondly, reverently) to a folded tube of toothpaste. But here, it had been reborn.

This new incarnation is, quite simply, tailoring for the home.

A masterstroke of duality, the BOSS | Ligne Roset Togo introduces, for the first time in the design’s storied history, a sophisticated interplay of two tones and two textures: robust, high-quality leather embracing a soft, refined textile seating surface, all punctuated by contrast stitching inspired by BOSS’s suiting codes. The effect is quietly commanding—sharp yet sensuous, architectural yet inviting.

Reynaldo sank into it. Not sat—sank. The chair, constructed entirely from multiple layers of foam with no hard edges, enveloped him in what could only be described as intelligent comfort. It was less a seat, more an experience. A conversation between body and object.

“Madre mía,” he murmured, already imagining it against sun-bleached Marbella stone.

Behind its effortless allure lies a near-mythical level of craftsmanship. Only fifteen artisans have mastered the precise pleating technique that gives the Togo its signature crinkled folds—each one manually executed, never industrially replicated. Every piece is thus both consistent and singular, a paradox Reynaldo finds deeply satisfying.

Marco Falcioni, Creative Director of BOSS, captures the spirit succinctly: “With the new Togo, we’ve translated our DNA into an iconic design object that brings the feeling of a made-to-measure suit into our home—a seating experience where comfort, craftsmanship, and contemporary sophistication meet.”

Antoine Roset, CEO of Ligne Roset, echoes this sentiment with Gallic poise: “This collaboration reinterprets the Togo through a new lens—where craftsmanship meets the precision of tailoring to create a piece that is both expressive, comfortable, and distinctly contemporary.”

And indeed, it is this meeting of disciplines—fashion and furniture—that elevates the piece beyond mere design. Both demand rigour, proportion, material intelligence, and above all, imagination. A suit must move with the body; a chair must receive it. In the Togo by BOSS, these philosophies dissolve into one seamless gesture.

For those less acquainted, BOSS has long stood as a pillar of modern tailoring—democratic yet aspirational, precise yet fluid. Its legacy is stitched not only into garments but into a broader lifestyle narrative, one that embraces sport, movement, and self-determined elegance.

Ligne Roset, meanwhile, brings a 165-year heritage of French craftsmanship, its pieces residing comfortably at the intersection of avant-garde experimentation and enduring luxury. Together, they do not clash—they converse.

The accompanying accessories extend this dialogue with quiet confidence. Duotone jacquard cushion covers and a throw finished with saddle stitching echo the chair’s material language, while select pieces from BOSS’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection—think the Madison bag and Gary trainers in linen-cotton canvas with leather trims—mirror its tonal sophistication. It is a lifestyle, fully realised: from lounge to street, from stillness to motion.

Reynaldo, ever the romantic, imagines his client hosting golden-hour gatherings, guests draped across these sculptural forms, conversations unfolding as easily as the Mediterranean breeze. He also imagines—briefly, selfishly—keeping one.

By the time he leaves the showroom, decision made, credit card deployed with theatrical flourish, he has secured not one but two pieces: a Togo by BOSS chair for his client… and another for himself, along with a selection of those impossibly chic accessories.

Back to Madrid, he tells himself.

But not without a little piece of Paris—and a great deal of irresistible design—tucked into his life.

The BOSS | LIGNE ROSET Togo fireside chair and footstool will be available as a limited-edition design series in selected Ligne Roset stores, and showcased in BOSS Stores in Paris and Milan.
