Roche Bobois Ottomans and Poufs

The Roche Bobois brand has long been synonymous with stylish, high-quality seating — including sofas, lounge chairs, sectional sofas and more — that possesses an enticing French flair.

Founded in Paris in 1960 by the families Roche and Chouchan after discussions that materialized at a furniture fair in Copenhagen, the company grew exponentially in the subsequent decades. The firm’s name, Roche Bobois, derived from Au Beau Bois, the name of the showroom where the Chouchans had been selling furniture on Boulevard de Sébastopol in Paris. The newly minted Roche Bobois began initially as an importer of Scandinavian furniture to the French capital. Following a national advertising campaign in Elle magazine, their offerings became a huge success. It didn’t take long for the company to shift toward producing their own contemporary furniture line.

In the 1970s, as cable television programming expanded into more homes, furniture manufacturers prioritized the production of living room couches and lounges, and Roche Bobois debuted their sofa-centric Les Contemporains collection. The brand’s celebrated seating over the years has included everything from creative mid-century modern armchairs to leather loveseats produced in the 1980s and more. One of its best-selling furniture designs has been the modular Mah Jong sofa, designed by Hans Hopfer in 1971.

Composed of low seating elements and large cushions, the Mah Jong sofa has been in production since its debut and has seen some high-profile fabric updates by Jean Paul Gaultier and Japanese clothing designer Kenzo Takada, who worked with Roche Bobois to craft fabrics emblazoned with geometrically dynamic patterns to be used as upholstery for the firm’s iconic piece of furniture. Worldwide, over 500,000 Mah Jong cushions have been sold, and Roche Bobois has expanded globally since its founding to open more than 200 stores in 50 countries.

Roche Bobois Early Production Mah Jong Elements, Pair, Signed, 1970s
By Roche Bobois, Hans Hopfer
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This beautiful pair of Roche Bobois Mah Jong elements by Hans Hopfer are from the earlier years of the design in the 1970s, before they created the Missoni and Jean Paul Gaultier collaborations where they gained a new look. This pair of Mah Jong elements are without a seat back, so they are ideal as a pair of large floor cushions or stacked on top of another as a large ottoman. At home, we have another pair of these that we use for our dogs as a large dog bed which we humans also use. When we want more floor space we can stack them and push them against the wall. When we have guests and need more seating in the living room we pull them over and stack next to a coffee table. But most of the time it is side by side for the dogs to use and when us humans need a quick NAP - we use it as a daybed underneath a skylight or can lay with the dogs for a quick cuddle. This pair of Mah Jong sectional sofa elements was reupholstered with new fabric over the original interior foam, original bottom lining and labels. The visible fabric is brand new and is in mint condition. Everything else was cleaned, but is original. So it’s the best of both worlds - for those who want a clean, new fabric but also an early production year example of a Classic design. Photos of another pair that we have, in its original fabric are in the photos of this listing. This pair of early production Roche Bobois Mah Jong elements would work great in a Mid-Century Modern, Scandinavian Modern or Danish modern home or penthouse apartment but could also look fantastic in a contemporary or Postmodern room. Also consider mixing it up in a traditional, transitional, classical or Art Deco room with a splash of juxtaposition. Would also be an Apt choice in a commercial project such as a hotel lobby lounge or members club, creative design studio or high-rise executive office. Consider using as side chairs, bedside seating...
