Vehicles and multi-place dining tables for vehicles are provided. In one example, the vehicle includes a vehicle structure having a first sidewall, a second sidewall, and a floor disposed therebetween. The vehicle structure at least partially surrounds an interior area that has an aisleway extending therethrough. A multi-place dining table is disposed in the interior area and includes a first table section that is disposed between the first sidewall and the aisleway. The first table section includes a first tabletop. A second table section is disposed between the second sidewall and the aisleway and includes a second tabletop. The second tabletop is movable between a stowed position where the first and second tabletops are spaced apart from each other by at least the aisleway and a deployed position where the second tabletop extends across the aisleway and is coupled to the first tabletop.

Improved methods and systems for operating moveable architectural elements (e.g., furniture) are described. The method includes performing a first part of a movement of the moveable architectural element along a portion of a length of actuation using a motor. The method includes performing a second part of the movement of the moveable architectural element with a desired movement profile and, based thereon, measuring an operation parameter. The method includes comparing the measured operation parameter to a profile of the operation parameter. The method includes incrementing a first counter if a first differential between the measured operation parameter and the profile of the operation parameter exceeds a differential threshold, incrementing a first counter. The method includes adjusting the second part of the movement of the moveable architectural element if the first counter exceeds a counter threshold. Many other improvements and features are contemplated and described.

A multi-use desk-cabinet is provided. The multi-use desk-cabinet comprises a rear cabinet wall having a left and a right side cabinet wall mounted thereto. A desk plate is slidably and pivotally movable mounted to each of the left and the right side cabinet wall such that the desk plate is movable from a substantially vertical position in proximity to a front end of the left and the right side cabinet wall to a substantially horizontal position such that a rear end of the desk plate is placed in close proximity to the rear cabinet wall.

Furniture articles have an integrally formed shell that generally has rounded features, the shell diminishing in circumference outwardly from a mounting surface, and a mounting portion configured to secure the shell to the mounting surface. A perimeter edge of the shell defines a mounting plane against which the mounting surface is to be secured. When the shell is secured to the mounting surface, the mounting portion is inaccessible and hidden from view. Furniture includes a shelving unit, a desk unit, a seating unit, and a bed.

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.

The system, devices and method are for a cantilevered furniture (e.g., floating bed) installation including vertical frame reinforcements and frame brackets for securement to, or adjacent, a wall frame having top and bottom plates and vertically extending wall studs, and providing cantilevered support of a horizontally disposed frame. Horizontal frame supports or arms are coupled to support T-brackets which are installed where desired on the vertical frame reinforcements. The vertical frame reinforcements are secured where desired to the wall frame via top and bottom L-shaped frame brackets. The horizontal frame supports are longitudinally elongate and include support trusses extending and coupled therebetween to support an assembly (e.g., a bed assembly including at least a mattress with a platform or a box spring). For example, there may be six trusses for a parallel arrangement and eight trusses for a perpendicular arrangement.
