Was macht das Mah Jong so besonders gegenüber herkömmlichen Sofas?

Das Mah Jong ist ein rahmenloses Sitzsystem aus einzelnen Kissen und Polsterelementen, das 1971 von Hans Hopfer entworfen wurde. Es gibt keine feste Struktur — alle Module können frei im Raum angeordnet, gestapelt und immer wieder neu konfiguriert werden.

Wie viele Konfigurationen sind mit dem Mah Jong möglich?

Theoretisch unbegrenzt. Die einzelnen Module funktionieren als Sitzfläche, Rückenlehne, Armlehne oder Hocker und können beliebig kombiniert werden — von einer klassischen Sofalinie bis hin zu einer runden Gesprächsinsel.

Warum sind die Bezüge des Mah Jong so besonders?

Roche Bobois arbeitet regelmäßig mit renommierten Modehäusern wie Kenzo, Jean Paul Gaultier und Missoni zusammen, die exklusive Stoffe für das Mah Jong entwerfen. Jedes Kissen wird in Italien von Hand gesteppt und genäht.

Eignet sich das bodennahe Mah Jong für den Alltag mit Kindern?

Ja, die niedrige Sitzhöhe und das rahmenlose Konzept machen das Mah Jong besonders familienfreundlich. Es gibt keine harten Kanten, und die Module können flexibel als Spiellandschaft umfunktioniert werden.

Wie pflege ich die Polsterelemente des Mah Jong?

Die abnehmbaren Bezüge können je nach Stoffart professionell gereinigt werden. Regelmäßiges Aufschütteln und Drehen der Kissen sorgt für gleichmäßige Abnutzung und erhält die Polsterqualität langfristig.

Roche Bobois Mah Jong — Design & Comfort

The Mah Jong by Roche Bobois is one of the most revolutionary sofa concepts in design history. Designed in 1971 by Hans Hopfer, it consists exclusively of loose, low-level cushions and upholstery elements — entirely without a fixed frame. Each individual module can be freely placed, stacked, or combined in the room, creating an infinite number of configurations: from a spacious lounge area to a conversation island, to individual armchairs and chaises longues. The collaborations with fashion houses like Kenzo, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Missoni, who regularly reinterpret the Mah Jong with exclusive fabrics, are legendary. Each cushion is hand-stitched and sewn in Italy — with a care that is more reminiscent of haute couture than furniture production.
