Carrying handles are provided by slots in the face and wings which align when the wings are folded against the face for carrying.

A furniture item (1) includes a supporting plane (2) defining a top supporting plane surface (3). A wiring assembly (10) is associated with the supporting plane (2), arranged outside the supporting plane (2) and above the top supporting plane surface (3), extending with respect to the top surface (3) moving away to create a barrier of discontinuity of the top supporting plane surface (3). The wiring assembly (10) includes a body (20, 21) having a shoulder wall (22) extending outside the supporting plane surface (3). The body (20, 21) defines an inner channel (24, 25) within the assembly (10) and adapted to receive power supply and/or service devices (91, 92, 93) therein. The inner channel (20, 21) extends in a direction substantially parallel to the top supporting plane surface (3). A fastening device (40) fastens the wiring assembly (10) to the supporting plane (2).

An article of furniture can include a flipping actuation mechanism. A privacy screen apparatus can also be connectable to the article of furniture. The flipping actuation mechanism and the privacy screen apparatus can each be configured to facilitate flipping and stacking or nesting of tables or other types of articles of furniture.

A privacy screen apparatus can include a body having a plurality of elongated recesses and between elongated pillow regions. The pillow regions can have a larger width than the recesses. In some embodiments, the body can be configured to bend about the elongated recesses to different configurations. A plurality of stand elements can be connected to the bottom of the body to permit the body to be free standing. In other embodiments, a plurality of connectors can be connected to the body for connecting the body to an article of furniture, such as a tabletop or a desktop.

A cubicle screen includes a first mounting assembly, a second mounting assembly, a fabric roll, a tensioning mechanism, and a retention mechanism. The first mounting assembly has a first clamp configured to be secured to a work surface and a first mounting post secured to the first clamp. The fabric roll is positionable on the first mounting post and has an inner tube and a fabric rolled about the inner tube. The tensioning mechanism is adapted to prevent rotation of the fabric roll about the mounting post and maintain a desired tension in the fabric. The second mounting assembly includes a second clamp configured to be secured to the work surface and a second mounting post secured to the second clamp. The retention mechanism is adapted to secure an end of the fabric to the second mounting post.

An article of furniture can include a flipping actuation mechanism. A privacy screen apparatus can also be connectable to the article of furniture. The flipping actuation mechanism and the privacy screen apparatus can each be configured to facilitate flipping and stacking or nesting of tables or other types of articles of furniture.

A kit is provided that, when assembled, forms a unit of furniture. The kit includes side panels that can rotate about the z axis along the hinge and which have one or more support surfaces to support a base panel. A top panel is connected to the side panels and back panel by a plurality of position members. The kit comprises a plurality of flexible fasteners to reverse-ably lock the side panels to the base panel and to lock the side panels to the top panel and restrict the side panels from z-axis rotation and restrict the base panel and top panel from y-axis rotation. Also provided are methods of assembling and manufacturing the unit of furniture.

The present disclosure is directed to a modular furniture system comprising a modular unit capable of being removably affixed to a furniture member via at least one bracket assembly, the bracket assembly comprising a first bracket disposed on the modular unit and having a first magnetic component and at least one locking means; and a second bracket disposed on the furniture member and having a second magnetic component and a receiving means capable of engaging the at least one locking means.

An expandable table comprises first and second table surfaces connected by a first hinge at their adjoining short sides. First and second legs are fixed to an underside of the first table surface to support the first table surface. A third leg is fixed to an end of a slidable bar or mechanism wherein the slidable bar or mechanism is installed on an underside of the first table surface, wherein the slidable bar or mechanism is configured to be slid out from under the first table surface wherein the third leg provides support for the second table surface when the second table surface is unfolded and wherein the slidable bar or mechanism is configured to be slid under the first table surface wherein the third leg rests adjacent to the first leg when the second table surface is folded to lie on top of the first table surface.

A workstation includes a partition unit to form a workspace, in which a desk board, two lifting apparatuses and a driving device are provided. Each of the lifting apparatuses has a first tubular member connected to a bottom of the desk board, a second tubular member fixed to the partition unit, and a lifting device to move the first tubular member relative to the second tubular member. The driving device is connected to the lifting devices to drive the lifting devices to move the first tubular members so as to lift and lower the desk board.
