A method for the production of a piece of furniture such as a seat, a bed, a table, the piece of furniture including at least one furniture component (10), the method including the steps of making a blank (11) of expanded polystyrene (EPS) with density between 15 and 25 kg/me, the blank (11) being configured to act as a core for the furniture component (10); providing an interface surface (12) in the blank (11); making a rigid insert (13) in rigid material having an engagement portion (14) configured to engage with the interface surface (12) of the blank (11) and a first connection portion (15) opposite the engagement portion; joining the rigid insert (13) and the interface surface (12) so that the engagement portion (14) is engaged with the interface surface (12) and the first connection portion (15) faces aside opposite to the blank (11); coating the blank (11) and the rigid insert (13) by at least one coating layer (30) of polyurethane material, so that the coating layer (30) completely covers the blank (11) and the insert (13), with the exception of at least one part (16) of the first connection portion (15).

The present disclosure provides a modular system comprising standardised sets of parts including tile elements (304) and connector elements (314) which can be assembled together simply and quickly to build a secure and completely customised storage solution or, for larger version of the disclosed system parts, furniture solution, according to the needs of the user. The system allows for effectively infinite variations while maintaining simplicity of design and easy of both assembly and disassembly.

A joining system for furniture is provided. The joining system comprises a first furniture element and a joining element. The joining element has a width between a first and a second surface in the area of the second engaging portion. An increase in the width causes a first engaging portion to press harder on a first stabilizing portion which causes a male coupling portion to bend in a direction towards the surface comprising the second stabilizing portion to compensate for the increased width.

The present invention relates to an appliance and countertop gap-filling device. The device is comprised of a preferably T-shaped body. During use, the device can be removably placed in the vertical gap between an appliance (such as, but not limited to, a stove) and a countertop to prevent food and other debris from falling into the gap while resting on the countertop and appliance.

A display case can include panels, and frame members (e.g., corner extrusions) that secure the panels. In some examples, the frame members can magnetically secure the panels together in an assembled configuration of the display case. In some examples, the frame members can cooperate to provide improved mounting and demounting processes.

Generally, an enclosure and method for assembling an enclosure including a plurality of frame members connected or interconnectable to generate a framework and a plurality of panels fastened or fastenable to the framework. In particular embodiments, enclosure and a method of assembling an enclosure from a kit including prefabricated enclosure sides including interconnectable frameworks fastened to panels configured to overlap adjacent panel edges at the corners upon interconnecting the frameworks.

A blow-molded plastic structure has a hollow interior portion formed during a blow-molding process, and includes first and second outer portions that are spaced apart from each other, with the hollow interior portion disposed there between. The structure includes a pattern of structural stiffening features that are integrally formed in the second outer portion. The pattern of structural stiffening features includes a plurality of tripodal depressions disposed in rows and columns and a plurality of convex regions disposed in rows and columns between the plurality of tripodal depressions. Each convex region has a maximum height between the first and second outer portions. Each of the tripodal depressions extends into the hollow interior portion, includes three indentations disposed adjacent the first outer portion, and includes an island spaced away from the first outer portion. The island has three sides, each of which is disposed adjacent one of the three indentations.
