Painter, sculptor, designer… Hans Hopfer designed sofas that are, for many, the indisputable “signature” of Roche Bobois’ collections.

In the 1970s, Hopfer’s innovative informal approach to comfort had a profound in� uence on the way people furnished and arranged their living space.

In 1971, he created the Mah�Jong, a sofa based on total freedom of function and form. From a starting point of three basic elements that can be set at angles or overlaid, the Mah Jong allows limitless options of composition.

It can be 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, re� ecting the non-conformist era in which it was born.

Avant-garde when � rst created, iconic today, “dressed” by Missoni Home, Jean Paul Gaultier and Sonia Rykiel Maison, this “free form” modular seating is the reference point for fully modular creative design.

este sofá “en libertad” es,

por mucho tiempo, una referencia

de modularidad y de creatividad.

Pintor, escultor, diseñador…

Hans Hopfer ha diseñado sofás

que se han convertido para muchos

en ineludibles de las colecciones

Roche�Bobois.

Desde los años 70, su enfoque

innovador y sin complejo de la

comodidad y de la “gestión creativa

del espacio” in� uyeron profundamente

en la decoración interior.

En 1971, creó el Mah Jong, un sofá

que reivindica una total libertad de

forma y de función. A partir de tres

elementos sencillos, yuxtapuestos o

superpuestos, el Mah Jong permite

todas las composiciones, de las más

sencillas a las más complejas.

Se transforma en sillón, sofá, chaise

longue, cama, espacio de vida,

permite todas las posiciones y usos,

re� ejando así el entusiasmo y la

vitalidad de la época.

The Mah�Jong upholstered in fabrics

by Missoni Home

El Mah�Jong revestido de telasMissoni Home

Over the years, Roche�Bobois has

called upon those with creative

talent to “dress” special editions

of the Mah�Jong. Each of these

artistic collaborators has managed

to express a new seductive and

suprising facet of the Mah�Jong

without changing the core design.

MISSONI HOME

Created exclusively for Roche�Bobois

by this most sophisticated and

exuberant of Italian fashion houses,

the now iconic zigzag stripes and

re� ned � oral fabrics exude a sense of

joy re� ected in the furniture they dress.

Para vestir el Mah�Jong, Roche�Bobois

ha con� ado siempre en creadores

de talento para ediciones únicas.

Cada creador propone el

descubrimiento de una nueva

faceta del Mah�Jong que sigue

sorprendiendo y seduciendo mientras

permanece él mismo.

MISSONI HOME

La moda italiana a la vez so� sticada

y exuberante. Las rayas en zigzag se

han convertido en icónicas, las telas

re� nadas alegres y � oreadas, creadas

en exclusiva para Roche�Bobois,

revisten, revelan y dan ritmo el

Mah�Jong que los lleva.

JEAN PAUL GAULTIER

The French couturier has placed his

witty and wonderfully creative stamp

on the Mah�Jong, “dressing” the design

in both his distinctive striped sailor-

style costume and in an upholstery

version inspired by the distinctive

motifs of his Haute Couture fashion

collections such as tattoos and other

“poetic” graphics. His creativity,

elegance and sophistication break the

rules of convention, in much the same

way that Hans�Hopfer did back in 1971

when he designed the Mah�Jong.

JEAN PAUL GAULTIER

El modisto francés desvía con humor

y talento sus propios códigos para

revestir el Mah�Jong. Lo reviste de

sus emblemáticas rayas marineras,

o lo tatúa de motivos poéticos y

grá� cos. Perturba las convenciones

con creatividad, elegancia y

so� sticación, como lo había hecho

Hans�Hopfer en 1971 diseñando

el Mah�Jong.

SONIA RYKIEL MAISON

The fashion designer has always

included home furnishing within her

creative universe. And today, in typical

upbeat style she blends contemporary

and classic fabrics, including her

signature vibrant stripes, to create an

exuberant and colourful version of the

Mah Jong. Black, bright and a hint of

provocation… it could only be Rykiel!

SONIA RYKIEL MAISON

La creadora de moda ha incluido

siempre hogar y decoración en su

universo creativo. Combinando con

acierto tejidos contemporáneos y

telas más clásicas, viste hoy el Mah

Jong con notas picantes y divertidas,

personi� cadas por las anchas rayas

que la han hecho famosa.

The Mah�Jong is handmade in a

dedicated workshop in Italy using

processes and techniques similar

to those of the “Haute Couture”

fashion industry.

Each component is individually

hand-stitched using a method similar

to that of mattress-making, and the

utmost attention is paid to detailing.

By virtue of the exclusive fabrics used

to upholster it and the unique nature

of each composition, every Mah�Jong

composition becomes a one-of-a-kind

creation.

El Mah Jong está realizado en

Italia, en un taller especializado,

a la manera de los talleres

de alta costura.

Concebido como si fuera un colchón,

cada elemento es único, cada

costura está hecha a mano, cada

acabado controlado con cuidado.

Revestido de telas exclusivas,

cada composición del Mah�Jong

se convierte por la originalidad

de sus revestimientos y de sus

composiciones, en una creación

siempre en movimiento.

The Mah�Jong: “Free form” composition

The Mah�Jong was created to provide

freedom of form and function.

By encouraging people to arrange

the elements as suits them best,

it could change the landscape of

the living room, offering a whole new

approach to the way we view and

arrange the spaces in which we live.

The composition options are almost

limitless, giving one the opportunity

to completely reorganise one’s living

space, thereby rede� ning the original

meaning of the term “sofa”.

The 3 basic elements of the Mah�Jong

can be stacked, aligned with each

other and grouped as one wishes.

Seat cushion, straight back

or corner… one can play with

the shape and the height to create

the composition desired: corner sofa,

straight sofa, armless sofa or day bed.

El Mah�Jong ha sido concebido

para poder adaptar en libertad

la forma a la función, permitiendo

así poder cambiar según su voluntad

“el paisaje” de un salón y ofrecer

cada vez un nuevo punto de vista.

Se puede jugar con todas las

composiciones, cambiar las alturas,

pasar de uno a dos “pisos”, cambiar,

si queremos, las funciones iniciales

del sofá, para una gestión creativa

del espacio, hasta el in� nito.

Los 3 elementos de base del

Mah Jong se superponen,

se alinean, se juntan según las ganas.

Asientos, respaldos rectos

o de ángulo permiten jugar con las

alturas y crear sofás de ángulo,

sofás rectos, banquetas o camas

supletorias.
