The Partir Ducaroy: Corner Seat is based on an in-depth study of Michel Ducaroy's original TOGO Corner Seat. The original TOGO design was unveiled at the Salon des Arts Ménagers in Paris in 1973. Initially met with skepticism, it quickly gained popularity and has been considered a staple in Avant-Garde & Experimental design.

The Partir Ducaroy series are standalone or modular pieces, providing a versatile seating solution with a bohemian touch. 

Shown in Black Aniline Sueded Nubuck Leather.

The Archetype Forms Partir Ducaroy: Fireside Chair is a faithful reproduction of the original Michel Ducaroy TOGO Corner Seat Model R 3233.

Product Details

Partir Ducaroy: Corner Seat

The Partir Ducaroy: Corner Seat is Archetype Forms' version of Michel Ducaroy's original TOGO Corner Seat model R 3233. It features a distinctive low-slung profile with deeply quilted cushioning that creates the TOGO corner seat's signature wave-like contours.

This armless chair eliminates traditional internal framing to combine three densities of polyether foam as the structure and for ergonomic comfort. It is wrapped in a quilted polyester-filled cover sewn to an upholstery of your choice. The quilted upholstery with backing gives the material body, substance, and enhances its luxurious feel.

The TOGO's innovative frameless approach won Michel Ducaroy the René-Gabriel Prize at the 1973 Salon des Arts Ménagers in Paris, honoring the Togo series as "innovative and democratic furniture." The design established the TOGO as an icon of 1970s French design, a status that remains today.

Designer

Michel Ducaroy

Michel Ducaroy (1925–2009) was a French furniture designer known for pioneering foam-based furniture construction. Born in Lyon, he began his career in the 1950s and spent over three decades developing innovative seating designs. His most recognizable work is the Togo sofa series (1973). It eliminated traditional internal framing in favor of an all-foam construction using multiple densities of polyether foam. The signature quilted, wave-like silhouette earned him the René-Gabriel Prize at the Salon des Arts Ménagers in Paris.

Construction

Frame & Cushioning: Three Densities of Polyether Foam

Foam Cover: Quilted Polyester Batting Fill

Upholstery: Custom selection of Leather, Nubuck, or Fabric from Archetype Forms

The structure of the Archetype Forms Partir Ducaroy: Corner Seat is made of triple-density foam for comfort and stability. Sandwiched between the foam structure and covering is a polyester batting fill quilted to the upholstery backing. This gives the upholstery additional substance, body, comfort, and refinement.

The Archetype Forms Partir Ducaroy collection is based on an in-depth study of Michel Ducaroy's original TOGO series. We reproduce with the same materials and specifications, enhanced by our custom upholstery selection.
