The 18 Best Togo Sofa Replicas and Alternatives

Once you really begin to put down roots—and fixate less on selling your plasma to buy CBD gummies,—finding the correct couch to compliment your Scandinavian shag rugs, Monstera plants, and Noguchi lamps becomes something of an obsession. For us, that perfect piece is the Togo sofa.

“But, Mother!” you might say, “Shouldn’t I be saving up for a Wassily chair? Or a Terje Ekstrom orange noodle chair?” Well, we wouldn’t discourage you—after all, there are so many iconic, mid-century-modern pieces worth investing in for every aesthetic and time in your life. However, if you’re looking to throw down serious clams for a designer piece for the first time, the Togo sofa deserves some consideration. This isn’t just a couch, but a cradle; it’s a museum-worthy feat of design that reconciles comfort with 1970s smoking-gun sex appeal better than so many of its contemporaries (WE SAID IT), and it can turn your house into a home with the ultimate conversation pit vibe.   

As with fernet, Arrested Development, and Ines Rosales’ anise crisps, the iconic (and currently very trendy) Togo sofa is an acquired taste. At a glance, a Togo couch looks like an inviting squish that’s perfect for plopping upon—and it is—but as with most seemingly effortless pieces of design, this sofa is the product of intense engineering. It was designed by Michel Ducaroy for the heritage French meublier Ligne Roset, which has been in the furniture biz since 1860, and continues to crank out loveseats by Pierre Paulin, origami-inspired couches by R. & E. Bouroullec, and more swoon-worthy pieces. Only with Togo, Ducaroy said, “What if we made a couch… with no frame.” (Easier said than done—but let us be the first to tell you, he did.) 

When it made its 1973 debut at the Parisian Salon des Arts Ménagers, the Togo was awarded the coveted René-Gabriel prize for being such an “innovative and democratic [piece of] furniture,” as well as one of the first modular couches on the market. Today, each Togo sofa is still painstakingly hand-sewn and constructed with layers of cloud-like polyurethane foam to hug your body without ever losing its shape.

So how do you get your paws on a Togo sofa, or one of the best Togo sofa replicas or alternatives on the market? Read on.

Where to get a real Togo sofa

If you want the real thing, Ligne Roset is still slinging them in a range of colorways and fabrics, and you might find some relatively affordable archive pieces on online auction sites (that are affordable compared to some Togo sets, which can cost upwards of $34,000) in dark brown fabrics and Cognac-leathers that make us drool:

Chairish is another great site for scooping gorgeous vintage furniture, and it’s got no shortage of Togo sofas, in every color and fabric finish. We love this very handsome beige sofa, but are equally enchanted by this cozy, bachelor-pad-ready Goya Red Alcantra sofa.

Of course, getting the real thing will cost you more than a few quarters. Luckily, there are also some more affordable replicas out there. Thanks to the recent Togo renaissance amongst design-thirsty kids—there are over 33,900 posts under the #TogoSofa hashtag alone on Instagram, and a seemingly endless stream of Togo sofa TikToks that have amassed millions of views—we were able to cobble together this list of the best Togo replicas and affordable alternatives on the web, from Etsy to Amazon and beyond. So throw some Serge Gainsbourg on the record player, and let’s go shopping like it’s 1973.
