Roche Bobois - Hans Hopfer, Kenzo Takada - Sofa (9) - Mahjong - Textile

Icon of freedom and modularity: Mah Jong modular sofa – design Hans Hopfer – produced by Roche Bobois - exclusive fabrics signed Kenzo Takada We present at auction an absolute masterpiece of contemporary furniture: the Mah Jong modular sofa, designed in 1971 by Hans Hopfer for Roche Bobois, here embellished with exclusive fabrics signed Kenzo Takada. Symbol of ultimate free and informal seating, the Mah Jong is capable of redefining living space according to comfort and conviviality needs. Design and history: the revolution of earthbound seating Born from the meeting between Philippe Roche and the German designer Hans Hopfer, the Mah Jong is inspired by the combinatorics of the famous Chinese game from which it takes its name. Disassembly and freedom: unlike rigid, monolithic traditional sofas, the Mah Jong is based on the combination of free quilted cushions and movable backrests. Each element can be overlapped, placed side by side, or laid on the ground to create a continually dynamic "seating landscape". Craftsmanship: each Mah Jong cushion is a unique piece made entirely by hand using high-end tailoring techniques. The hand stitching and meticulous finish illustrate the workshop tradition. Exclusive upholstery: for this special edition, the renowned designer Kenzo Takada, "the most Parisian of the Japanese", created a collection of exclusive fabrics. Lot conditions: excellent conservation state The auction lot includes 6 seating cushions, 2 corner backrests, and 1 backrest with adjustable tilt in various positions. The composition allows multiple usage configurations (from single armchairs to chaise longues or a linear sofa). Fabric and sanitization: the coverings have been fully washed and professionally sanitized. The cushions are in excellent condition, free from cuts, abrasions or fraying and complete in all parts. Some cushions are upholstered in fabric, others in ribbed velvet, and others in smooth velvet. The latter show the classic iridescent effect depending on how the velvet is brushed. Fillings and structure: The inner modules maintain optimal compactness and comfort, solid and perfectly structured. Authenticity guaranteed: the originality of the piece is well attested by the internal linings and the original fabrics with Roche Bobois and Kenzo Takada logos Dimensions (sofa configuration for chair: 1 backrest + 2 cushions) Width: 98 cm Depth: 98 cm Total height: 67 cm Seat height: 36 cm The designers: Hans Hopfer, Kenzo Takada -Hans Hopfer was a German designer who revolutionized the concept of seating in the 1970s. His design philosophy focused on comfort and freedom of use, aiming to create furnishings that adapt to modern lifestyles. His innovative approach gave rise to iconic pieces that redefined living spaces, promoting a "life on the ground" experience and unprecedented modular design, as superbly demonstrated by the Mah Jong sofa. -Kenzo Takada, Japanese designer, stylist, and costume designer, was one of the first Japanese designers to establish himself in Paris, where he arrived in 1964. With his brand, Kenzo, later acquired by LVMH in 1993, he introduced into Western fashion a colorful, bold, and playful style, with inspirations blending the East and the world at large. With the opening of the Paris boutique, Jungle Jap, in 1970, his brand also became famous for men’s lines and fragrances. The Manufacturer: Roche Bobois Born in 1960 from the union of the Roche and Chouchan families, Roche Bobois is a global reference in luxury French-made furniture. Thanks to historic collaborations with great masters of design and with the most prestigious fashion and fabric houses (from Missoni to Jean Paul Gaultier and Kenzo Takada), the brand combines bold creativity with tailoring excellence recognized worldwide.
