The insta famous “Togo” sofa

By Ligne Roset

No one can have missed this on Instagram, I think every single big influencer have posted at least one post each on this one. Including me. And Fanny.

Well, I actually have one too. Haha. Though I ordered it 15 weeks ago, but hell yes worth the wait. It is as comfortable as it looks like, me and my bf fights about who gets to sit in it.

Yes it took almost 47 years for it to bloom.

Okey, maybe not. But for Instagram to discover it.

Here comes a short FYI history about the Togo. Good to know before your next interior quiz.

Another piece I can bet on you’ve seen in your feed once or fourteen times the latest weeks. No? However the Panton chair is an Iconic chair by the Italian design brand Vitra.

And yes I know, all good designs are born in Italy.

As almost all other great stuff in this article, the Panton chair was made in the 60’s by Verner Panton. And did you know it was the first chair to be manufactured completely out of plastic in one single piece?? I did not. How cool. Also made to be suitable for outdoor use aswell (in my ears: twice as good investment).

Yes I might just have made my boyfriend go and pick up three red ones I found on Swedish Craigs list 20 minutes ago.

Maybe not as famous as the other treasures this far, but I can almost put my little finger on that this will be the next lover of some influencers.

However. The cute little as chair is a collaboration between British Faye Toogood and the Italian (yes, how surprising) company Driade.

Sisters Faye and Erica Toogood, the design duo behind the genius British design company. One a tinker, the other a tailor. And yes, it really is TOO GOOD. Faye’s preoccupation with materiality and Erica’s audacious shape-making are making the most amazing pieces at modern time. (Almost sounds like me and Fanny?? Hehe. Maybe not.)

The collection also features a two seater sofa, perfect for dates and Hobnob’s Aperol spritz hours.

Camaleonda

by Mario Bellini, early 1970s.

Another insta famous friend of ours! Hurray!

This one you must have seen aswell. I can count at least seven accounts that I’ve seen it on the past month. And I understand why!!

The Camaleonda modular sofa was designed by Italian (yes, again) architect Mario Bellini in 1971.

Best thing about it? You can modul it as you like. For example; as a two- seater sofa with armchair and footstool – or take the backs off and use it as a daybed. (Twice as good investment here too!!)

Actually the first boom came almost immediately after it was featured in the exhibition “Italy and The New Domestic Landscape” which was held at the MOMA Museum in NYC, 1972. Or 2019 on Instagram, as you wish.

I would die for this yellow dream.

This sweetheart is also familiar to all of us, right? And also a personal sweetheart of mine. I have alerts on various sites to find the perfect one to our summer house, preferably in dark brown (or a funny color) but they are so freaking expensive.

Did you know these chairs design is inspired by the frame of a bicycle?? Pretty cool when you think about it, and its designed by Marcel Breuer in 1925 for Knoll.

Here is my dream pair in blue. Wow.
