A knock-down furniture assembly includes (a) a seating assembly having a plurality of first end connectors and a plurality of second end connectors; (b) a first arm having a plurality of first arm connectors, each first arm connector and a corresponding first end connector defining a first pair of interlockable connectors for removably attaching the first arm to the seating assembly; and (c) a second arm including a plurality of second arm connectors, each second arm connector and a corresponding second end connector defining a second pair of interlockable connectors for removably attaching the second arm to the seating assembly. Each pair of interlockable connectors includes (i) a female bracket defining a bracket channel extending along a channel axis oriented generally vertically, and (ii) a male bracket having a slide member slidable into the bracket channel generally along the channel axis for interlocking thereof.

An outdoor furniture item (1) includes at least one seating and/or lying unit (3), a first shell element (5), and a second shell element (7). The first shell element (5) and/or the second shell element (7) can be selectively rearranged into a first configuration and into a second configuration with respect to the respective other shell element (7, 5). In the first configuration, the first shell element (5) and the second shell element (7) are at least partly nested in one another. In the second configuration the first shell element (5) and the second shell element (7) together enclose an essentially closed inner space, in which the at least one seating and/or lying unit (3) is located.

A kit of parts, shippable to an end user in boxes for assembly of the parts by the end user into seating furniture, includes seat bases and seat backs removably attachable to the seat bases; a first armrest with a channel connector having a first channel for slidably receiving a first slide member of a first seat base for securing the first armrest and the first seat base together; and a second armrest with at least a second slide member for slidable insertion into a second channel of another channel connector of a second seat base for securing the second armrest and the second seat base together. Each channel connector secured to the first seat base has a third channel for receiving a third slide member of a slide connector of any other seat base for securing together said other seat base and the first seat base.

The present invention relates to seat systems, and more specifically to seat systems suitable for supporting users sitting in a cross-legged or kneeling position during activities such as meditation. Sitting closer to the ground, cross-legged, and/or kneeling enables the brain to easily enter a parasympathetic mode, providing users of the seat system a greater sense of calmness. The Multi-Angle Knee blocks (MAKs) offer a greater level of hip support for users.

A border bench apparatus providing a seating surface that can be interchangeably replaced with a retaining wall section. The border bench comprises a bench section having a seating surface, a first end to engage a lower engagement projection, a second end adapted to engage an upper engagement projection, and a body. In the preferred embodiment, more than one spike passes through the hoes defined in the bench and the wall sections for stabilization. The border bench can include a weighted base, or a broadened base.

A transformable floor chair has a seat and a back. The seat has straps for carrying the chair when transformed into a transportation configuration. The straps are located on the underside of the seat when in a deployed configuration. A backpack including zippered enclosure is affixed to the rear of the floor chair back. The backpack remains usable and functional when in either the transportation configuration or the deployed configuration. When transformed into the transportation configuration, the upper portion of the seat is secured to the front face of the chair back, thereby sandwiching the chair between the straps and the backpack.

Furniture pieces which incorporate load-bearing or non-load bearing structures in which water or other material may be stored. By incorporating such storage capacity within furniture, a user may take advantage of space that would otherwise be unused or unusable to unobtrusively and conveniently store an emergency water supply or other desired material.
