Modern Icons: The Togo Series

sqftfarm In vogue or not, hate 'em all. Lumpy, low and not for me.

Becky Harris Sqtfarm, I wonder if they'd be too low for me as well. Love the way they look, but the older I get, the harder it gets to get off the floor!!! And these aren't far from the floor. Perhaps that has some pilates/yoga benefit? However, I do love the way they look! ;)

llucy yuck

Alison in one of the pics, someone elevated the chairs on a platform. it doesn't look as good, but it's functional!

Marcelena Melton I love the look of these pieces, they have the ability to transcend time, I don't know if these pics were taken in the '70's or recently but they seem to be able to suite many different styles with a retro/mod twist! Very cool! Thanks for sharing Becky!

Becky Harris Thanks Marcelenaw! I think the Togo is one of those love it or hate it kinds of things - there is no in between! ;)

jcarpentercc I love them! I'm all for comfortable furniture. Just wish I could afford them...

marina zakarian These have always been on my wishlist and have found some great shops with Togo-styled pieces that are affordable

Jill McGraw Thanks for including my set pics, Becky! I rented the togo sofa for the guitar room in a reality show (extreme low budget explains the addition of Target chairs) and one night someone left the bathtub running in the floor above, soaking the togos! Unbelievably, they were good as new after they dried... phew!

Becky Harris OMG! Jill, any chance you'll tell us which reality show? I'm a reality junkie, and I knew this looked familiar! Bathtub running upstairs seems like a big clue... :)

Jill McGraw The show was called "Redemption Song", some female rock vocalists competing on Fuse TV. I like checking out reality show decorating, too, especially knowing that the less-watched shows have miniscule budgets. It's hard to make $15,000 look good when you have to buy beds, bedding, towels, and outfit a kitchen. I liked "Redemption Song" because production let me donate all the set dressing to a charity for transitioning homeless families after we wrapped. My other two favorites were the shows that shot in Hawaii: High School Reunion and Cowboy U. Everything looks better with ti leaves and ginger flowers tied on!
Thanks for the updates, Becky, I love checking them out! xjill

Becky Harris Oh I was way addicted to h.s. reunion - I was just a few years younger than they were and had to laugh at what it would have been like to have different groups from my two high schools!

Jill McGraw HS Reunion story- I converted an outdoor teak bed into a romantic four-poster fairy grotto with bamboo, ribbons, and three shades of flowing dark green tulle. The first night one of the alumni barfed in it and it was never seen again!

Becky Harris Gross! What a waste of a set!

elene Marinazar, where do you find the togo series that is "reasonably priced?"
