Modular enclosure includes a plurality of structural elements coupled to one another to at least partially define a cavity. The structural elements form a plurality of sub-assemblies in which each sub-assembly includes a corner section having a slot and first and second joint sections. Each of the first and second joint sections include an elongated body extending between two joint ends. The elongated body has an open-sided channel that extends along a length of the elongated body and opens to an exterior of the elongated body. The open-sided channel extends through each of the joint ends. The slot of the corner section is aligned with the open-sided channels of the first and second joint sections and a wall section is received by the slot and each of the open-sided channels.

There is provided a modular storage rack comprising flat panels each comprising one or more flat segments and cross panels each comprising one or more cross segments. Each flat segment comprises a slit extending partway through it. Each cross segment comprises: a first and a second planar portion each terminating in a first and second lip respectively. The first lip faces the second lip, and they define a slot for receiving the flat segment. Each cross segment also comprises an island joining the first planar portion to the second planar portion, the island disposed in the slot and between the first and second lips. The island is configured to be received in the slit. Each flat segment is matingly connected to a corresponding cross segment such that the flat segment is received in the corresponding slot and the corresponding island is received in the corresponding slit.

A sheet metal planter comprises three panel types, can be assembled with readily available tools, can be disassembled to fit in a compact space, can be made in more than one shape, does not require fasteners in one embodiment or places a modest load on fasteners in another embodiment, and is aesthetically pleasing.

Disclosed herein are systems for a magnetic panel joint and magnetically joined, paneled storage units. The magnetic panel joint comprises a first magnetic panel including an angled protrusion defining a first receptacle, a second magnetic panel including a groove body defining a groove and a second receptacle, and a magnetic fastener. The angled protrusion can be removably inserted into the groove to enable alignment of the first receptacle and the second receptacle, and the magnetic fastener can be removably inserted into the aligned receptacles to enable secure coupling of the first magnetic panel and the second magnetic panel. The second magnetic panel may include a slot body defining a slot and a receptacle. An angled protrusion of a third panel can be removably inserted into the slot. Each individual panel may be a horizontal shelf, a vertical wall, or a rear wall or a storage unit.

An improved joint is provided for modular furniture. The joint includes a locking tab and slot. The tab is held in the slot such that the tab cannot be moved out of a locking section of the slot without elastically bending the tabbed panel to prevent inadvertent disassembly of the item of furniture. The tab and slot configuration may also provide increased stiffness and rigidity to the piece of furniture while allowing the piece of furniture to be assembled without fasteners such as screws or nails.

A cabinet has a base and a first side wherein one of the base and the first side has a male portion and another of the base and the first side has a female portion for mating with the male portion. The cabinet has a second side, such that the second side may be attached to the base, wherein one of the base and the second side has a male portion and another of the base and the second side has a female portion for mating with the male portion, such that the second side may be attached to the base. The cabinet also has a back for attaching to the first side, the second side and the base.

Panels are shown which are provided with a mechanical locking system allowing perpendicular connection with a snap action. A set of panels including a first and a second panel, an edge of the second panel is insertable into a groove of the first panel, when the panels are arranged essential perpendicular to each other, to obtain a mechanical connection between the first and the second panel, when the second panel is displaced essentially perpendicularly to the first panel.

A bent corner furniture connecting piece (18) comprises a central bent corner section (89) having a first connecting arrangement (93), and a second connecting arrangement (97). The connecting piece (18) comprises a wooden frame (36) comprising a first and a second curved end section piece (26, 28). First and second connecting pieces (30, 32) connect the first and second curved end section pieces (26, 28). The first connecting piece (30) is provided with the first connecting arrangement (93) for connection to a first furniture piece, and the second connecting piece (32) is provided with the second connecting arrangement (97) for connection to a second furniture piece. A bent outer surface layer (64) is arranged on a convex part (74) of said frame (36), and a bent inner surface layer (66) is arranged on a concave part (82) of said frame (36).

Example furniture kits and methods of making the same are described. An example method includes coupling a first block of a connector to a rear wall of a disassembled piece of furniture, the first block having a first groove, and coupling a second block of the connector to a side wall of the piece of the furniture, the second block having a second groove. One of the first block or the second block includes an extension and the other of the first block or the second block includes an opening to receive the extension when the first and second blocks are coupled. The example method also includes packaging the rear wall, the side wall and a locking cover into a furniture kit to be used to assemble the piece of furniture. The locking cover is to couple the first and second blocks.

A set of panels includes a first panel having a first main plane and a second panel having a second main plane. The panels are provided with a mechanical locking device for locking a first edge of the first panel to a second edge of the second panel. The mechanical locking device includes an edge groove at the first edge, wherein an edge tongue of the second edge is insertable into the edge groove. A flexible tongue is arranged in an insertion groove provided in the edge section groove, and cooperates with a tongue groove provided at the edge section of the second panel. The first and the second panels are locked at a junction plane which is extending between the first main plane and the second main plane. The first edge comprises an edge tongue that extends from the junction plane.
