A chair including structural members having hinge joints at ends thereof pivotally coupling each of the members to one or more adjoining members. The chair is configured to be arranged in a collapsed configuration wherein all of the members are in the same plane and define a substantially planar shape, and configured to be arranged in an expanded configuration to define a seat, armrests, support legs, and leg braces of the chair. A stool assembly includes at least first and second stools configured to be stackable such that the seats of the stools abut face to face and in combination define a composite base. A system for constructing furniture includes multiple joints each having slots configured to receive and retain structural members and configured to be assembled with the structural members to form a piece of furniture with the multiple joints defining corners of the piece of furniture.

Disclosed is a novel furnishing assembly. The assembly is comprised of multiple components, which are nestable or stackable in relation to one another. The components may be of different sizes and may mimic each other in structure. Each component is comprised of a top panel, two opposing legs, and one or more handles. A smaller component can be stacked on a larger component to form a stand up desk or lectern or the like. Each component can be used for various purposes, including as a stool, desk, or chair. Each leg includes two feet, which can be covered with glides. Each component can be secured to a substructure or include a crossmember for added stability. The components can include other components for improved functionality, including a magnet, a door, a drawer, a keyboard tray, or a storage box.

A chair system may include a plurality of components that may include a seating surface having seating handles, a backrest having a backrest handle, a kickstand base, and a support frame. The configuration may generally provide a lightweight, comfortable chair system that may be easily adjusted, lifted, transported, arranged and stacked by any user, while still providing substantial structural integrity.

A chair with a frame with tubular elements, which comprises two inverted V-shaped elements that form the front legs and rear legs, are parallel and are joined substantially at their inner curvature to a rod-like crossmember, two L-shaped elements connected by the crossmember on which they are arranged in a parallel configuration so as to form a support for the back and for the seat, respectively with first substantially vertical portions thereof and second substantially horizontal portions.

The present disclosure relates to configurable stacking chairs having a standard seat base frame design to which different interchangeable seat backs can be quickly and easily attached. The seat base frames and the interchangeable seat backs may include corresponding quick-connect features that allow selective attachment therebetween. The interchangeable seat backs may be attached to a standard seat base frame via a magnetic connection. Each interchangeable seat back can have a different unique design allowing for a quick change of appearance by exchanging one interchangeable seat back design for another. The interchangeable seat backs and the standard seat base frames can be stored separately and take up less space than completely assembled or fixed back chairs.

A chair having a separately configured seating assembly and backrest that move together upon reclining movement of a user. The seat assembly can be pivoted between a lowered, seating position and a raised, nesting position. The backrest can be pivoted between an upright position and a reclined position. The seat assembly includes a seat that is movable along seat frame sub-assembly that includes a pair of glide tracks upon the reclining movement of the backrest. A bias member of the seat assembly urges the seat into a retracted position and the backrest into an upright position. The seat assembly is pivotally mounted to the support frame of the chair such that the entire seat assembly can be pivoted to a raised, nesting position. The seat assembly can also be pivoted to a lowered, seating position to allow multiple chairs to be stacked.

A chair with armrest connectors includes a backrest, a seat, a pair of armrests, and a supporting frame configured to move the chair between a folded configuration and a deployed configuration. A pair of connectors are secured within cavities disposed on an upper surface of each armrest. The connectors are configured to move between a deployed position extending outwardly from the cavities and a retracted position within the cavities. When deployed, the connectors are configured to removably secure to a supporting frame of a second chair. This allows for multiple chairs to be secured to each other when in a folded configuration. The chair includes adjustable shoulder straps that allow an individual to easily carry the assembly of attached folded chairs supported against the individual's back. The chair may also include additional fasteners or connection mechanisms for supporting additional items against the front side of the individual for improved weight distribution.
