The present invention relates to an item of seating furniture (2) having a seating frame (11) with a running gear and with at least one seating assembly (12), a table assembly (14), a footrest (13), a power storage system which supplies the seating furniture (2) with energy, a control unit, and a comfort, work, and/or entertainment device (15), wherein the control unit controls the one comfort, work, and/or entertainment device (15). In addition, the present invention relates to a seating furniture system (1) having at least one item of seating furniture (2).

The present invention is directed to a novel workstation which incorporates an acoustical dome for increased acoustic and visual privacy for the user. The workstation further is adjustable in height such that it is able to accommodate a range of users from the 5.sup.th percentile seated female to the 95.sup.th percentile standing male according to the dictates of ANSI/HFES100-2007 national ergonomic standard. The workstation is further designed to be in electrical and data communication with other workstations to optimize the workstation density in an open working environment without compromising user privacy.

A table assembly comprising a top member forming a substantially flat top surface circumscribed by an outer edge and at least a first 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.

A combination of a covered, raised corner desk and seating area and walk-up corner bar provides a degree of security and privacy while encouraging working together and meeting with persons standing at the outside of the bar/desk.

A work and discussion space includes two installation blocks that are positioned opposite one another. Each installation block accommodates two people and includes a vertical partitioning structure, two seats positioned against the vertical structure and separated by at least one module for storing professional and/or personal accessories, and a work surface each associated with a seat. The work surfaces are movable between a position that is distant from, and a position that is close to, the corresponding seat.

An office furniture component provides an enclosure defining an interior work space, the enclosure having at least three walls and one or more open sides via which the interior work space may be accessed. A flat work surface may be provided within the interior space. Electronic systems may be installed within the furniture component, such as display screens, cameras, and lighting systems. A lighting controller may implement contextual lighting to vary work space illumination in response to occupant use of the work space.
