1971,
Hans Hopfer
imagines the Mah Jong.
Painter, sculptor and designer…
Hans Hopfer has designed several sofas that have become
iconic pieces in Roche Bobois collections.
In the 1970s, his innovative and open-minded approach
to comfort had a profound in� uence on the �a� people
furnished and arranged their living spaces.
In 1971, Hopfer created the Mah Jong, a modular sofa that
champions total freedom of form and function.
�tarting �ith three basic elements that can be combined
or stac�ed together, the Mah Jong allo�s limitless options
of composition, ranging from simple to highl� comple��
armchair, sofa, lounge chair, bed or living space.
It allo�s for all positions and uses, re� ecting the
enthusiasm and vitalit� of the era from �hich it hails.
Today, the Mah Jong is dressed in new designer
fabrics and set on elegant platforms
that enhance its silhouette and make it even more
comfortable. Avant-garde at the time of its creation,
this ultra-modular sofa is an iconic piece today.
