TOGO BY MICHEL DUCAROY

BEFORE IT’S TRENDING, IT’S AT COVERINGS

In 2023, Ligne Roset celebrates the 50th birthday of Togo. Designed by Michel Ducaroy, Togo has always been produced in the factories in Briord, a small village in the Bugey region of France which is nestled in the foothills of the Jura mountains. With inspiration often described as coming from “a tube of toothpaste folded back on itself like a stovepipe and closed at both ends,” the cult piece of the ’70s with its floor-level seat, emblematic of the revolutionary modernity, has become the brand’s star product and uncontested bestseller. Its upholstery demands a unique traditional skill for which the human hand remains irreplaceable, executing the precise movements which produce the famous folds giving each piece of Togo its character and personality. Never out of fashion, its characteristic style enables it to integrate into all interiors, from mountain chalets to high-rise lofts.

Artefacto

Artefacto is internationally recognized as South Florida’s go-to for captivating multimillion-dollar condos in the most iconic architectural towers, as well as custom estates from Miami to Palm Beach.

Brand loyalists span from South Florida’s top brokers and developers, to interior designers and architects, to celebrities and socialites—all of whom rely on Artefacto for turn-key interiors that elevate and define South Florida living. A signature Artefacto home features layered organic textures and furnishings, surrounded by warm contemporary luxuries. Rooms are styled around a single statement piece, while embracing a full monochrome aesthetic, rich in neutral tones.

CEO Paulo Bacchi, at 18, joined the company founded by his father Albino in São Paulo in 1976. He tripled Artefacto’s business in the ’90s and took over the company a decade later, expanding operations to the U.S. in 2002.

Today, Paulo instills his passion and work ethic in his twin sons, Bruno and Pietro, who started working at the age of 14, learning from their father’s example. His sons now work closely with him on all areas of the business, including operation of the expansive local distribution center and vast inventory, to creating singular turn-key lifestyles in South Florida’s most coveted neighborhoods.
