A 12-piece Mah Jong modular sofa by Roche Bobois, executed in Missoni textiles, representing one of the most recognizable and collectible seating systems of the late 20th century.
Complete Missoni compositions in this scale and condition are increasingly difficult to source on the secondary market.
Originally conceived by Hans Hopfer in 1971, the Mah Jong redefined seating through its low, modular form and emphasis on flexibility. This example, executed in collaboration with Missoni, introduces a layered interplay of color, pattern, and texture, bringing a distinct fashion sensibility to the composition.
The 12-piece configuration allows for a range of arrangements, from structured seating to more relaxed, lounge-oriented compositions. Each cushion functions as an individual element, designed to be stacked, aligned, or separated, offering both visual dynamism and practical adaptability.
As a complete set, the piece reads as both seating and sculptural installation — a system that evolves with its environment while maintaining a strong visual identity.
Ideal for residential or hospitality settings, the composition offers scale, flexibility, and a recognizable design presence within a space.
