# Designer Look-Alike Furnishings Togo Sofa Knock-Off is Attractive and Affordable By Katie Cordrey | Published 2010-09-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/togo-sofa-knock-off References: [bit.ly](http://bit.ly/9rRVbl) & [sexyfurnishings](http://www.sexyfurnishings.com/Down-Low-Sofa-p/downlowsofa.htm) This Togo sofa knock-off is a great look for a relatively small price. A Togo collection designed in 1973 by Michel Ducaroy will put a serious dent in your bank account -- new end chairs alone are $2,300 each on [eBay](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hypegolf-japan) -- but that is not so with the Down Low knock-off. The Down Low 5-piece sofa set is a reproduction design based on the Togo sofa. Its good looks are [retro-modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tugendhat-chair), but the comfort is timeless. The [Toga](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toga-x-umbro) sofa knock-off set runs about $1,700. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Retro-modern Design:** Opportunity for businesses to capitalize on the growing demand for furniture designs that combine retro aesthetics with modern functionality. - **Affordable Reproductions:** Growing trend of offering affordable knock-off versions of high-end designer furniture, providing accessibility to a wider consumer base. - **Timeless Comfort:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to create furniture designs that prioritize both style and comfort, addressing the needs of modern consumers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Innovative chance for furniture manufacturers to produce cost-effective reproductions of popular designer pieces, catering to budget-conscious consumers. - **E-commerce Retail:** Opportunity for online retailers to offer affordable and stylish knock-off furniture, leveraging the convenience of online shopping and reaching a broader customer base. - **Interior Design Services:** Potential for interior design companies to incorporate retro-modern furniture designs, providing clients with trendy yet timeless living spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Reissued Cozy Modern Sofas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kashima.md) - [Anniversary-Celebrating Modern Furniture Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiki-series1.md) - [Bold Upholstered Retro Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/t4-sofa.md) - [Modernist Modular Outdoor Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dongo-garden-sofa.md) - [Illusory Floating Sofa Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-soft-sofa.md) - [Cozy 70s-Inspired Sofa Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1977-sofa.md) - [Ultra-Sophisticated Sofa Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultrasophisticated-sofa-designs.md) - [Modular Butter-Inspired Sofas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/butter-sofa.md) - [Ultra-Comfy Seating Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cushy-lounge-chair.md)
