We all know and love the Togo. It’s become one of the most iconic seating designs of the last 50 years, and for good reason.
Finding an original Arconas Togo is rare, so we gave this one the care and attention it deserved. These are not easy pieces to upholster, and to make our lives even harder, we chose an exceptionally heavyweight linen épinglé velvet that beautifully emphasizes the Togo’s sculptural curves.
The weight of the fabric meant this piece had to be completely hand sewn, with every button made by hand as well. It’s details like these that preserve the integrity of the original design while giving it an entirely new look.
