? IT LOOKS LIKE A BEANBAG: Similar idea. Comfy, casual, flop about furniture made entirely from polyether foam. ? WHO IS IT BY? The designer Michel Ducaroy dreamed it up in 1973 for the French company Ligne Roset. It is still made in rural France. ? WHAT INSPIRED THE SHAPE? The Seventies fashion for lounging and a more laidback approach in our living rooms. Ducaroy described his creation as 'a tube of toothpaste folded over on itself like a stovepipe and closed at both ends'. ? WAS IT POPULAR? You bet. It still has a following. Lenny Kravitz is a fan. His Togo sofa appeared recently in Vogue, pictured in the singer's lavish Paris home. ? SO, IT'S EXPENSIVE? It could be worse. From £1,442, ligne-roset.com [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
