TEKNI FURNITURE

Petaling Jaya furniture company presenting Togo by Ligne Roset

Tekni Furniture is a Petaling Jaya-based furniture company whose JDC 2026 entry centres on the Ligne Roset Togo. Designed by Michel Ducaroy in 1973, Togo replaced the rigid sofa frame with multi-density foam and has remained in production for more than five decades.

ABOUT THIS ENTRY

Tekni Furniture Sdn. Bhd. is a private company based in Petaling Jaya, Selangor. For JDC 2026 it presents Togo by Ligne Roset as its signature product. Designed by Michel Ducaroy and introduced in 1973, Togo is built without a traditional frame: it is made entirely from three densities of foam, wrapped in generously quilted covers whose characteristic pleats follow the sculptural form. The collection is modular, running from the fireside chair entered here (870 mm wide, 700 mm high, 1,020 mm deep, 11 kg) to settees, corner seats, footstools and larger compositions that can be arranged to suit different spaces and lifestyles. Each piece is manufactured in France.

WHY THIS ENTRY STANDS OUT

Tekni’s entry makes the case that lasting design is itself a contribution to how people live. Togo’s frameless, multi-density foam construction offers a low, enveloping seat for lounging, reading and conversation, and its light weight makes it easier to move and reconfigure than a conventional framed sofa. After more than 50 years in production, it continues to sit comfortably in contemporary interiors. Tekni’s own recognitions include DOTY Best Product Design (2023 to 2026), iDs’ Choice Awards 2026, the ATAP Best Product Design Award 2025 and a JIDA Designer’s Choice award in 2024.
