Matt Sorum, the former Guns N' Roses drummer, lives in a breathtaking designer house in Palm Springs, a 2 hour-drive from Los Angeles. He came here to go green with his grey Togos, his seventies decor and his little family. Matt has slowed down a little bit but still has a rock 'n' roll look, a killer convertible and a mind-blowing recording studio. Iâve rarely seen a musician of his calibre so generous and passionate about design. Cherry on the cake : heâs the one who plays the drums on the main theme of our podcast! That too must be part of the Togo magicâŠ
Later in this episode, weâre plunging into Cristian Zuzunagaâs dreams. The Spanish designer once had a revelation with Togo!

Iâve arrived in New York, itâs my favourite city and the ideal place to get a new perspective on the Togo. Just like in Los Angeles, the Americans here are French design and yĂ©yĂ© music lovers, in other words : the French touch!

In this episode, weâre wandering around the campus with Anita Cooney, the Dean of the Pratt Instituteâs School of Design, SherylKazak, design teacher, and Chen Chen, a former Pratt student whoâs now a designer. In Paris, weâre meeting with renowned historian Michel Pastoureau who analyses the colour trends from the 1970s up until today.

My investigation is making progress and the women Iâve met in California have helped me understand that the Togo is nomadic and doesnât like being abandoned. But Iâm still missing some intel: about its identity, the story of its designer and the revolution it apparently embodies. Whatâs great with this magic couch is that we can teleport.
In this episode, weâre back to France and heading East to lie down on the family Togo with Michel and Pierre Roset. They both speak about Michel Ducaroy, the father of Togo. Once back in Paris, Iâm visiting the collection storage of the Mobilier National alongside heritage officer and head curator Emmanuel PĂ©nicaut. But who first invented the sofa?

From the beach in the French Southwest to Venice Beach I think I overtook Marion Gruber, going from one ocean to the next. After a 12-hour flight, here I am in California!
