A furniture system includes an elongated chase having a body extending from a first end to a second end. The body has an upper surface and a lower surface. A first leg is coupled to the lower surface of the body and a second leg is coupled to the lower surface of the body and spaced apart from the first leg. Power cables are positioned within a cavity of the body, the power cables configured to connect to a building's power supply. A modular power unit is coupled to the lower surface of the body. The modular power unit includes a power outlet electrically coupled to the power cables.

A bracket mechanism is configured to facilitate connection of multiple rail elements to form an elongated element to span over a work space and/or to help support a continuous integral element spanning over a work space. The bracket mechanism can be configured to help ensure the rigidity of the elongated element positioned over the work space so that the elongated element does not sag or bow downwards as it extends over the work space.

A mounting system for mounting a piece of furniture in a movable manner to a modular wall system includes a side support bar that has a channel extending therethrough. The side support bar can be mounted to a modular wall system. A roller assembly is connected to the piece of furniture. The roller assembly includes rollers that can be positioned and moved within the channel to enable the piece of furniture to be selectively repositioned along the modular wall system.

A system and method establishing control of affordances at a workstation. The method includes the steps of storing affordance preferences in a database for a plurality of portable affordance settings that may be present at a workstation, detecting a subset of affordances present within a first zone associated with the workstation, for each detected affordance in the subset, identifying an affordance setting in the database indicating a user preference, and automatically controlling settings of at least each of the detected affordances in the subset to match the user preferences for the detected affordances.

A modular shelving system may include a plurality of configurable components and methods of forming configuration assemblies from such components. The configuration assemblies of the modular shelving system may be paired with and coupled to other shelving units and/or furniture.

A workstation comprising a chassis having a base frame (10) and a monitor frame assembly (11), said base frame (10) defining a work area (20) at its proximal end for accommodating a user therein, in use, wherein a desk unit (24) is mounted laterally across said work area and provides a work surface for use by a user accommodated in said work area (20), in use, said monitor frame assembly (11) comprising an outer frame, extending laterally across said base frame (10) and upwardly from its distal end, and an inner frame (32) mounted within said outer frame and configured to receive thereon a plurality of monitor brackets (45), wherein said desk unit (24) is longitudinally adjustable relative to said base frame (10) so as to selectively adjust its distance from the monitor frame assembly (11), and said inner frame (32) is vertically adjustable within, and relative to, said outer frame so as to selectively adjust its height relative to said base frame; and further wherein respective locking means are provided to releasably lock said desk unit and said inner frame in a selected position.

A method and system for anonymously associating a workstation user's station control preferences with a workstation, the method comprising the steps of correlating anonymous user IDs with user preference sets in a database, obtaining input from a user at a workstation, comparing the user input to the anonymous user IDs to distinguish one distinguished user from other users without determining the identity of the user, accessing the user preference set associated with the distinguished user and controlling workstation affordances per the accessed user preferences while the user is located within a present zone proximate the workstation.

A system for mounting to an underside of a work surface of an office furniture structure includes a storage structure and a bracket. The storage structure includes at least one storage chamber and at least one installation feature coupled to the at least one storage chamber. The bracket includes at least one securing feature configured to secure the bracket to the underside of the work surface of the office furniture structure. The bracket further includes at least one installation feature configured to couple the least one installation features of the storage structure. At least one of the storage structure and the bracket includes at least one restraining feature configured to engage the other of the storage structure and the bracket and inhibit the storage structure from being detached from the bracket.

A table arrangement includes connection mechanisms for inter-connection of height adjustable tabletops so that the tabletops are independently moveable in a stable way. Embodiments of the table arrangement can be configured so that different height adjustable tabletops can be arranged to accommodate different users' preferences. Some embodiments of the table arrangement can utilize at least one cross-member connection mechanism connected to at least one column connection mechanisms 20.
