Furniture frame structural system with interlocking members
A furniture frame structural system with interlocking members includes a first face frame, a second face frame, and a plurality of frame members. At least one joining feature for each frame member allows the frame members to arrange into a skeletal configuration as the joining feature includes a male interlocking portion and a female interlocking portion. More specifically, the male interlocking portion for each frame member is engaged with the female interlocking portion of an adjacent member from the frame members. Resultantly, the frame members complete the skeletal configuration. The first face frame and the second face frame are then oppositely mounted to the skeletal configuration completing the basic frame structure. Additional components such as post-tensioned fasteners, inner liners, outer panels held in side rails, a top, legs, and baseboard can be optionally integrated with the basic frame structure to improve the functionality and appearance of the resulting furniture.
Intelligent office furnishings
A method of operating a desk including receiving, at a desk controller, a message from a chair, and determining a position of a user based on the message. The message includes an indication of a sensed rotation of the chair. The method also includes generating, via the desk controller, a control signal for a motor based on the position of the user. The motor is coupled to a support framework of the desk. The method further includes changing a height of the support framework of the desk according to the control signal.
CONVERTIBLE COFFEE TABLE AND OTTOMAN
Provided in this disclosure is a table having a multi-section design that combines the functions of a coffee table and an ottoman. One or more rotatable sections are independently rotatable between a hard table surface or cushioned ottoman surface facing up. One or more fixed sections are provided for table functionality, even if one or more rotatable sections are rotated to the ottoman surface. When all rotatable sections are rotated to the table surface, a large, continuous surface is created that is perfect for dining or entertaining. The fixed section(s) also include one or more drawers for storing remotes, coasters, and other small essentials. When a user wants to convert a rotatable section, a release handle is pulled on the side of the frame. This allows the side section to rotate freely until either the table surface or ottoman surface is in position and locks in place automatically.

FURNITURE ELEMENT
A furniture element, in particular a shelf or shelving unit has at least one storage level, a body, and a bottom plate. Storage surfaces of the body, which face each other, and the bottom plate each have raceways, in which rolling elements are guided. The body is movable relative to the bottom plate from an initial position to an intermediate position and back, wherein, in the intermediate position, the body is rotated relative to the bottom plate in a rotation direction and shifted in a predetermined direction, the raceways of the bottom plate being formed having mirror symmetry to an axis of symmetry extending at an oblique angle relative to a lateral edge of the bottom plate.

Portable table assembly
A portable table assembly includes a table that may to support items. A plurality of fasteners is provided and each of the fasteners is movably coupled to the table. Each of the fasteners may be selectively coupled to a chair thereby facilitating the table to be accessible from the chair. Each of the fasteners is movably coupled to the table. Thus, the plurality of fasteners may accommodate a variety of chair sizes. A first coupler is attached to the table. The first coupler may engage an item thereby facilitating the table to be selectively coupled to the item. A leg is hingedly coupled to the table an the leg is selectively positioned in a deployed position. Thus, the leg may abut a support surface thereby facilitating the table to be horizontally oriented with respect to the support surface.
COMPUTER GAME CONTROLLER STAND
The present disclosure provides a computer game controller stand, comprising: a frame (10), a controller support (15, 20), connected to the frame, said controller support being configured to support at least one computer game controller, such as a steering wheel module, a joystick module or a pedal module, and a chair connector (122, 132), configured for preventing horizontal relative movement between the frame and a chair (4). The chair connector is adapted to allow the frame and the chair to pivot relative each other about a vertical axis. The disclosure also provides a computer gaming unit and a method of making such a computer gaming unit.
Apparatuses, systems, and methods for transformable living spaces
The present disclosure provides apparatuses, methods and systems operable to provide transformable living spaces. The system includes a chassis and a configurable unit movably coupled to the chassis for at least one of translation and rotation with respect to the chassis. The system also includes at least one drivetrain assembly movably coupling the configurable unit to the chassis. The system includes at least one actuator coupled to the configurable unit by the at least one drivetrain assembly. The system also includes at least one robotic controller communicatively coupled to the at least one actuator.
