Let’s talk about sofas for a sec. Honestly, finding the right one feels like dating: lots of searching, trying things out, and hoping for that spark.

The search is real

We’ve spent way too many weekends scrolling through endless options, looking at overpriced sections of big-box stores that left us uninspired. And then we stumbled upon a vintage Mah Jong sofa at Studio Loca. It felt like destiny.

Why we went Mah Jong

When we first laid eyes on it, we were drawn in by the bold colors and playful shapes. (it was also 1 AM, I was in bed, exhausted but determined to find my dream sofa). This sofa practically screamed “creativity”, and while we love colors, we wanted a good foundation for our living room. So, we chose a beige base to ground everything and let our quirky accessories shine. Plus, we made sure to try it out first. Sitting on it was a must, it had to be comfy.

Let me just say, this sofa is like sinking into a cloud. We spent our first night on it binge-watching shows, and it was glorious. The cushions cradle you just right, making it the ideal spot for lazy afternoons (which I want more of, now that we have this sofa).

A creative space

Here’s the thing: this isn’t just a sofa. It’s become our creative hub. Every time we lounge on it, ideas just start flowing. We hosted a small get-together to celebrate its arrival, and it felt like magic. Friends sprawled out on the cushions, laughter filled the room, and before we knew it, we were brainstorming plans for a DIY project we’d been putting off forever. Check out here how we’re styling our Mah Jong.

We go way back

The Mah Jong sofa was designed in the 1970s by Hans Hopfer for the renowned French design company Roche Bobois. Inspired by the idea of modular furniture, Hopfer wanted to create a piece that was not only functional but also playful and adaptable. The sofa is composed of separate cushions that can be rearranged into an infinite number of shapes, allowing people to express their creativity and personalize their space (if that ain’t us). We felt honored to bring a piece of that history into our home!
