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 furniture system includes vertical and horizontal frame members, and a connection assembly that includes a T-shaped slot located within the vertical frame member, a T-shaped tab extending from the horizontal frame member and configured to engage the at least one T-shaped slot, at least one locking slot located within the vertical frame member, a locking member configured to engage the locking slot, and a fastener configured such that when the fastener is secured to the locking member the T-shaped tab is driven into engagement with the T-shaped slot and the horizontal frame member is pulled toward the vertical member so as to connect the horizontal frame member to the vertical frame member.

An item of furniture includes a first and a second side wall, a rear wall, a base arrangement, and a cover arrangement which delimit a receiving space. An opening is located between the first and the second side wall and in a closed position is closable by a closure flap that includes a first and a second guide device. A first and a second suspension frame are arranged on an upper end face of the first and second side wall, respectively, and point in a direction of the cover arrangement. The first and second guide device are arranged in a region of a first and second side, respectively, of the closure flap and are in mechanical contact with the first and second suspension frame, respectively, over the entire movement path of the closure flap from the open position into the closed position.

A system and method establishing control of affordances at a workstation. The method includes the steps of storing affordance preferences in a database for a plurality of portable affordance settings that may be present at a workstation, detecting a subset of affordances present within a first zone associated with the workstation, for each detected affordance in the subset, identifying an affordance setting in the database indicating a user preference, and automatically controlling settings of at least each of the detected affordances in the subset to match the user preferences for the detected affordances.

A furniture system includes a furniture member including at least one slot, the furniture member having a first portion defining a first width of the at least one slot and second portion defining a second width of the at least one slot, the second width greater than the first width, a pair of support members each having a pair of recesses, each of the support members rotatable between a first position where the support member may be inserted into or removed from the at least one slot, and a second position where the recesses of the support member engage the first portion of the furniture member preventing removal of the support member from the at least one slot, and a screen member engaging the pair of support members thereby preventing the support members from rotating from the second position to the first position.

The invention relates to a retaining clip for securing a wall element of an item of furniture to a furniture structure, the retaining clip including a securing section and a stop section which is configured to abut a first structural element of the furniture structure. The retaining clip further includes a clip section which is configured to be resiliently moved between an insertion position permitting the insertion of the wall element into the furniture structure and a retaining position engaging behind a second structural element of the furniture structure.

A conference table includes a base and a worksurface supported by the base. The worksurface has a peripheral edge and an aperture having a node and at least three branches extending radially outwardly from the node. The base has a peripheral wall defining an interior space, an opening and a panel moveable between an open position wherein the interior space is accessible through the opening and a closed position wherein the panel is disposed over the opening. One or more electronic components may be coupled to the panel. A cable retention device may be coupled to a utility cable above the worksurface. The cable retention device includes an inlet formed in a peripheral side, a first outlet in communication with the inlet and formed in the peripheral side at a location spaced apart from the inlet, and a second outlet in communication with the inlet and formed in a bottom.

A lounge assembly comprising a lower wall structure including at least first and second spaced apart side walls and a rear wall that together form an assembly space, each of the side walls and rear wall including an internal surface, a seat assembly supported between the first and second side walls, a first coupler mounted to the internal surface of the first side wall, a support arm having an arm length dimension between proximal and distal ends, the proximal end mounted to the first coupler adjacent the internal surface of the first side wall for rotation about a first vertical axis and a tablet member supported at the distal end of the support arm for rotation about a second vertical axis through a second range of motion with respect to the support arm.

A table assembly comprising a table including a top member and at least a first leg support member, the top member forming a substantially flat top surface and circumscribed by an outer edge, the at least one leg support member supporting the top member in a substantially horizontal position, a table dock secured to the top member and forming an elongated channel having a dock length dimension and at least a first display panel circumscribed by a panel edge and having at least one straight edge having a panel length dimension, the dock length dimension less than panel length dimension, wherein at least a portion of the straight edge of the panel is receivable within the dock channel with the panel extending out the open first and second ends of the channel to support the panel in a substantially upright orientation with at least a portion of the display panel extending to a height above the flat top surface.
