MICHEL DUCAROY (Lyon, 1925 - 2009) for Ligne Roset. Sofa "Togo", France, c. 1970. Black leather. Composed of three modules and a pouff. Interior lining with Ligne Roset print. It has tears and one of the pieces has a tear. Measurements: 70 x 174 x 110 cm (corner); 70 x 110 x 110 x 110 cm (normal); 70 x 85 x 110 x 110 cm (small); 33.5 x 90 x 95 cm (pouff). Ducaroy has designed pieces that have become legendary, such as the Togo sofa, whose composition gives it a unique comfort. Trained at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Lyon, after his studies, Ducaroy joined the family's contemporary furniture manufacturing company. In 1954, he began working for the company Ligne Roset, located in the Ain region, where he headed the design department until the end of his career. During the 1960s and 1970s, new materials emerged in which Ducaroy became interested: foam, wadding, thermoformed plastic, new materials that allowed him to give life to new designs, creating creations that were both modern and timeless. The legendary Togo sofa was presented the year of its launch at the Salon des Arts Ménagers in Paris, winning the Renè-Gabriel Prize in 1973. French in origin, it was founded by Antoine Roset in 1860 in Montagnieu. In 1936, the company began manufacturing upholstered furniture and today designs and manufactures home furnishings, lighting, accessories and textiles with a team of 50 European designers. Today, Ligne Roset is internationally recognized thanks to its unlimited world of inspiration and collaboration with designers such as Didier Gomez, Pascal Mourgue, Peter Maly or Pierre Paulin. It has tears and one of the pieces has a tear.

Attributed to PIERRE GUARICHE (Paris, 1926-Bandol, France, 1995). Armchair, ca. 1960. Iron frame. Upholstered in white. In very good general condition. New upholstery and iron structure with a nice patina typical of the passage of time. Measurements: 85 x 70 x 85 cm; 40 cm (seat height). Upholstered armchair with armrests attributed to the iconic French architect and designer Pierre Guariche and produced in the sixties. The straight-lined frame and legs combine perfectly with the thick seat and back cushion, creating an elegant ensemble accentuated by the contrast between the black legs and the white upholstery. It is definitely a design with a markedly modern and timeless character. Pierre Guariche was a French designer, interior decorator and architect best known for the residential lamps he designed for Pierre Disderot in the 1950s, but he was also an innovative furniture designer and architect. He studied at the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs. He later joined the studio of another of his teachers, Marcel Gascoin. He began to exhibit his works at the Salon des Arts Ménagers and the Salon des Artistes Décorateurs, avant-garde places where the most prominent designers of the time showed their works. René-Jean Caillette, Joseph-André Motte, Jean Prouvé, Charlotte Perriand, Antoine Philippon and Jacqueline Lecoq were some of the designers who exhibited their experimental works in the salons of the time. After World War II, interest in the use of new methods and materials for the mass production of furniture increased. In 1951, Guariche began collaborating with Steiner, another important furniture manufacturer. He designed the innovative "Tonneau" chair, with a plastic and aluminum version in 1953 and a curved plywood version in 1954. At the same time, Guariche made numerous models for lighting manufacturer Pierre Disderot, seeking a modern, simple and economical alternative to the opulence of traditional French designs.
