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.

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.

Over the years, Roche�Bobois has

artistic collaborators has managed
to express a new seductive and
suprising facet of the Mah�Jong
without changing the core design.

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 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.
