A reconfigurable assembly includes a stationary base and a workstation including a worktop supported by the base. A mounting assembly secures the workstation to the base for rotation about a vertical axis through the base and worktop, and includes a first coupler forming first and second limit surfaces within an arcuate path about the vertical axis that define a limit space of a first length, and a second coupler that forms first and second stop surfaces that define a limit space of a second length along the arcuate path. The workstation is rotatable about the vertical axis between a first limit position where the first stop surface contacts the first limit surface and a second limit position where the second stop surface contacts the second limit surface.

A workspace assembly includes at least a first sound sensor located in a first facility space, at least one communication device located within the first space, and a processor in communication with the at least a first sound sensor and the communication device. The processor is adapted to compare the volume of sound emanating from within the first space to a threshold level and to generate a signal via the communication device when the volume of sound emanating from within the first space exceeds the threshold level. The processor also periodically automatically adjusts the threshold level.

A work environment adjustment system includes multiple instances of controllable office equipment located within an office space, each instance associated with a specific office location and including an activator for controlling states of the instance, at least one presence sensor for detecting user presence within each space associated with each instance, and a master controller linked to each office equipment activator to control activation of each activator to control a current state of each instance. The master controller is programmed to perform the steps of receiving sensor signals from the at least a first presence sensor, determining user presence at each space associated with each instance, controlling states at each of the instances independent of user input when the space associated with the instance is vacant, and enabling user control of the state of each instance associated with a space that is occupied by a user.

A furniture system includes a beam member including a bottom wall and a pair of side walls that cooperate to define a channel configured to route a plurality of wires therethrough, and an electrical power block located at least partially within the channel, wherein a portion of at least one of the walls is movable between a first position where the portion is substantially planar with the at least one of the walls, and a second position where the portion extends into the channel and is not planar with the at least one of the walls, and wherein the electrical power block is supported by the portion.

A body support structure includes a base having an upright. A backrest is slidable relative to the upright from a disengaged position, wherein the backrest is separated from the upright, to an engaged position, wherein the backrest is coupled to the backrest. A catch member releasably engages the upright when the backrest is in the engaged position. Methods of assembling and disassembling the body support structure are also provided.

A seating arrangement may include a backrest with a shroud and/or anchor elements securing a membrane and flexible material. An actuator may operate may simultaneously operate boost/stop components acting on a tilt control mechanism of the seating arrangement. An armrest assembly may include a strap, tubular member and adapter interfacing between the strap and tubular member.

A seating arrangement includes a support shell including a seat portion and a chair back portion each configured to support a seated user, the chair seat portion having a front region and a rear region and the chair back portion having an upper region and a lower region, where the rear region of the seat portion is coupled to the lower region of the chair back portion, a control member including a substantially flexible front support and an attachment point, where the front support engages the support shell in the front region of the seat portion and the control member engages the back portion, and a substantially rigid second support attached to the control member at the attachment point, wherein the control member is an integral, one-piece component including multiple flex regions configured to allow the support shell to move between an upright and reclined position.
