A modular container holder comprising a backing panel and a basket portion, the backing panel has a magnetic mounting means adapted to detachably secure the modular container holder to a vertical mounting surface, the basket portion projects forwardly from the backing panel and is adapted to receive and retain a container. A contiguous modular arrangement of multiple modular containers positioned in column or row configurations allows multiple containers to be stored, while the basket portion is tilted forwardly to prevent the obstruction of basket openings when the modular container holders are vertically stacked in the column configuration.

A modular furniture system capable of being arranged in different configurations in a settee area of a bowling center, for example, is disclosed. The furniture system includes at least one modular furniture element with a fastening mechanism which includes a first assembly and a second assembly. The first assembly of the fastening mechanism includes an engaging element which extends through at least one component of the first assembly and attaches to a component of the second assembly of an adjacent modular furniture element.

Embodiments herein relate to a dwelling device (100) having a plurality of unilaterally open dwelling units (110, 110, 110) for temporary accommodation of one or more people. Each dwelling unit (110) comprises a uniform hexagonal honeycomb-shaped outer profile (120) with a base panel (111), a screen panel (112) arranged parallel to the base panel (111), as well as two upper and two lower side panels (113, 114, 113, 114) connecting the base panel (111) and screen panel (112) in the area of the opposing side edges (115, 115). Each dwelling unit is made of a material whose stability is dimensioned to ensure both the stability of a dwelling unit (110) as a single piece of furniture as well as an adjacent vertical stacking of a plurality of dwelling units (110, 110, 110) without further aids in a safe manner. A robust design, which makes a vertical stacking on top of each other possible, is achieved by the hexagonal honeycomb-shaped wall of the dwelling unit (110) being integrally formed as a single piece and by the wall being made of a carton material.

The accessibility of the dwelling unit (110) as well as the comfort and safety within the dwelling unit (110) is improved over the prior art in that at least one dwelling unit (110) comprises one or more cross struts for increasing the stability and for acting as leaning units for people staying within the dwelling unit, wherein one cross strut is shaped in the form of a ladder (300).

A reconfigurable modular storage system has a reconfigurable support for storage units of the storage system. The reconfigurable support includes an end frame member attachable to the storage unit in two reverse orientations and releasably attachable base members. When the end frame member is attached to the storage unit in a first orientation and the base members are unattached, a portion of the end frame member serves as a raised end railing of the storage unit. When the end frame member is attached to the storage unit in a second orientation and the base members are attached, the base members serve as a load-bearing supports for the end frame member and for the storage unit. Multiple end frame members may be vertically stacked to create multiple vertically stacked storage units.

A modular container holder comprising a backing panel and a collapsible basket portion, the backing panel has a magnetic mounting means adapted to detachably secure the modular container holder to a vertical mounting surface, the basket portion projects forwardly from the backing panel and is adapted to receive and retain a container. The basket portion has a plurality of movable basket elements which allow the basket portion to be alternatively placed in an assembled state to receive the container, and a collapsed state which reduces the amount of space occupied by the modular container holder. A contiguous modular arrangement of multiple modular containers positioned in column or row configurations allows multiple containers to be stored, while the basket portion is tilted forwardly to prevent the obstruction of basket openings when the modular container holders are vertically stacked in the column configuration.

An improved shelf system often has differently configured shelves, at least some of which may receive attachments along a perimeter portions thereof. Those or others can provide bins for storing material as well internal to the shelves or along the perimeter portions.

A display case assembly for footwear that allows the user easy access to each individual pair of footwear while displaying each item of footwear. The assembly includes one or more containers that can be stacked to form an assembly of storage devices that cooperate to assist access to the footwear in that a first device stacked on top of a second device can be used to hold the door of the second device open while the user accesses the footwear inside. The containers feature two adjacent doors with magnets located on their exterior surfaces positioned to contact the magnets on a door of a second container stacked on top of a first container. In addition, the containers feature a support column with magnets that are positioned to contact magnets on the doors when the doors are fully closed.

A modular closet system provides reconfigurable closet capacity and an appearance of a customized closet in any of the configurations. The system includes at least two sideframes cooperating to define a space therebetween creating a closet module when assembled. A series of through holes on an inside surface of the sideframes are used to attach a variety of storage devices from the system's sides, which may be re-positioned by user design. When assembled, any of the fasteners used to attach the storage devices are hidden from a front view perspective of the system. Once assembled, the perimeter of the storage devices cooperates with the frames to block the view of the fasteners. Some embodiments may extend closet capacity by including a hanging rod system that connects two frame modules together via the through hole system on respective closet modules, which when assembled also blocks the view of any fasteners.
