Living Room as Landscape

How the design classic Mah Jong sofa creates an ever-changing look and layout …

In the 1970s Hans Hopfer created the Mah Jong lounge sofa, Roche Bobois’s most recognised and iconic design. Named after the Chinese game of skill, the Mah Jong is both clever and uncomplicated. The freedom of form that this fully modular low seating system allows broke the design mould and encouraged a completely new way of organising living spaces. Upholstered in simple plain fabrics at the beginning, today it is ‘dressed’ in multiple fabric choices and patterns by some of the world’s finest designers including Missoni, Jean Paul Gaultier and Kenzo Takada.

The designer’s innovative and uncomplicated approach to comfort had a profound effect on interior design by suggesting that you can change the landscape of your living room by just reimagining the layout of your Mah Jong. The cleverly designed modular seating means you can have endless combinations – a corner sofa, straight sofa, armchair, floor cushion or day bed. The elements can be regrouped and aligned in lots of different permutations to suit your space – or your mood! Each cushion is handmade in a dedicated workshop by highly skilled artisans using the same methods as a haute couture design studio. The Mah Jong is a real style statement for any interior. From €640 for a floor cushion.
