This modular seating set by Roche Bobois exemplifies the iconic flexibility and sculptural comfort that defined late-20th-century European lounge design. Upholstered in original Missoni Home textiles produced specifically for Roche Bobois, the composition balances tactile richness with a refined, tonal palette of stripes and textured weaves. Designed to be arranged and reconfigured, the set functions as both a functional sectional and an architectural object—its low profile and generous cushions inviting relaxed, floor-level living. Retaining its original manufacturer and fabric tags, the set is presented in exceptional condition, with no visible signs of wear, making it a highly collectible example of the celebrated Roche Bobois x Missoni collaboration.
Mah Jong Sofa designed by Hans Hopper in 1971.
Painter, sculptor & designer, Hans Hopfer designed sofas that are, for many, the indisputable “signature” of Roche Bobois’ collections. In the 1970s, Hopfer’s innovative and informal approach to comfort had a profound infl uence on the way people furnished and arranged their living space. In 1971, he created the Mah Jong, a sofa based on the total freedom of function and form. Starting with three basic elements that can be combined or stacked, the Mah Jong allows limitless options of composition. It can be an armchair, sofa, lounge chair or bed; a space in which to rest, to play or to lounge. It encourages experimentation and breaks the rules of formal living, reflecting the nonconformist era in which it was born. Avant-garde when first created, iconic today, and “dressed” by Kenzo Takada, Missoni Home and Jean Paul Gaultier, this “free form” modular seating is the reference point for fully modular and creative design.
