An impressive first-edition Mah Jong modular seating landscape, designed by Hans Hopfer for Roche Bobois in 1971. The Mah Jong was conceived as a radically informal, floor-level seating system, allowing individual elements to be combined, separated or rearranged into sofas, lounge chairs, daybeds and larger seating landscapes. It remains one of Roche Bobois’ most recognisable designs.
This early set has been fully restored and newly upholstered in a high-quality striped linen fabric in soft green and ochre tones. The upholstery was carefully executed while respecting the characteristic construction, deep tufting and relaxed proportions of the original design.
The set consists of multiple independent seat, back and corner elements, offering numerous configurations. As shown in the photographs, it can be arranged as a long sofa, an L-shaped composition, an expansive floor-level lounging area, or separated into individual seating.
Importantly, the original Roche Bobois branded fabric remains present underneath the elements, providing a strong reference to the set's original production.
The standard square Mah Jong elements measure approximately 95 × 95 cm, a dimension also documented for early examples and later Roche Bobois specifications.
