A multifunction control module including a housing having a flat tabletop surface on an upper side and a channel defined by a sidewall extending downwardly from an opening through the flat tabletop surface. A movable section may be positioned within the channel and movable within the channel between a first position forming a part of the flat tabletop surface and a second position below the flat tabletop surface. A drive module may control the movement of the moveable section between the first position and the second position, and a position detection module may determine a position of the movable section.

A desk with integrated light source comprises a worktop (2) having a top working surface (4) and a perimetral edge (5), lighting means (8) of the top working surface (4) comprising at least one adjustable arm (9) having a first end (11) associated with the perimetral edge (5) to move from a lowered rested position wherein it is parallel to the worktop (2) to an operative position raised with respect of the worktop (2) and a second end (12) provided with a light source (10) suitable for directing a light beam towards the top working surface (4) when the adjustable arm (9) is in the raised position, wherein the at least one adjustable arm (9) is adapted to be brought into a plurality of raised operative positions to vary the direction of origin of the light beam emitted by the light source (10).

A convertible item of furniture (100) comprising: a plurality of shelf units (1), wherein each said shelf unit (1) comprises a substantially horizontally extending leave (10) and a leave support (11) for supporting the leave (10); a linkage system (2) comprising linkage members (21, 22) pivotally connected to each said leave support (11) such that the linkage members (21, 22) are able to pivot in unison and parallel with each other between (i) a shelf configuration whereby the linkage members (21, 22) extend substantially vertically and said leaves (10) extend in spaced substantially horizontal parallel planes above one another, and (ii) a substantially flat surface configuration whereby the linkage members (21, 22) extend substantially horizontally and said leaves (10) are positioned next to one another to form a substantially flat surface having a front end and a rear end; and, at least one surface support (3) for supporting the substantially flat surface.

A system includes: a case including a first part pivotally connected to a second part, wherein the first part and the second part are configurable in a first case position in which the case is closed, and the first part and the second part are configurable in a second case position in which the case is open; an adjustable stand connected to an interior of the case, the adjustable stand including: a bottom frame connected to the case; a top frame connected to the bottom frame via at least one height adjustment system; and a platform connected to the top frame. The platform is rotatable relative to the top frame such that the platform can be positioned at one of plural predefined tilt-angles relative to the top frame. The height adjustment system permits the top frame to be moved vertically relative to the bottom frame to position the top frame at one of plural predefined heights relative to the bottom frame.

Some implementations of a table system can include a protective member that is positionable below a table to provide protection to both a table and chairs. The protective member can extend lateral beyond a peripheral edge of the table top, for example, to protect the table and accessory furniture while allowing the table top and the peripheral edge of the table top to remain exposed.

A desk with integrated light source comprises a worktop (2) having a top working surface (4) and a perimetral edge (5), lighting means (8) of the top working surface (4) comprising at least one adjustable arm (9) having a first end (11) associated with the perimetral edge (5) to move from a lowered rested position wherein it is parallel to the worktop (2) to an operative position raised with respect of the worktop (2) and a second end (12) provided with a light source (10) suitable for directing a light beam towards the top working surface (4) when the adjustable arm (9) is in the raised position, wherein the at least one adjustable arm (9) is adapted to be brought into a plurality of raised operative positions to vary the direction of origin of the light beam emitted by the light source (10).

A height adjustable work surface is described that may be utilized as a standalone desk or table, or integrated with a larger work surface to provide selective height adjustability to only a portion of a work surface. The height adjustable work surface preferably utilizes a modular trapezoidal frame structure, including trapezoid tube weldments, corner castings and machined hardened connector pins. The lift mechanism preferably includes parallelogram linkages, pneumatic gas cylinders, sliding brake bar mechanism and brake release handles to provide height adjustment functionality.

A folding table which includes: an upper support part for supporting the surface fabric and a lower support part for grounding; an upper support part is inserted into a guide tube of the lower support part by means of a shaft rod, and a support for the upper support part is formed at the bottom of the guide tube; Moreover, the upward extended shaft rod can also be used to insert a sunshade for expanded outdoor use with easy assembly. The upper and lower support parts and umbrellas can be folded separately and collected side by side, which greatly reduces the height and makes them more compact after folding.

A wishing well table is disclosed to temporarily hold gifts. The wishing well table includes a table formed of a table top supported by a plurality of legs. The wishing well table further includes an aperture disposed through the tabletop. A removable pouch is attached to the aperture to receive the gifts. Finally, a wishing well is disposed over the aperture having an opening to receive the gifts to fall through the aperture into the removable pouch.

Some implementations of a table system can include a protective member that is positionable below a table to provide protection to both a table and chairs. The protective member can extend lateral beyond a peripheral edge of the table top, for example, to protect the table and accessory furniture while allowing the table top and the peripheral edge of the table top to remain exposed.
