A furniture device is disclosed comprising six individual pieces that interconnect to form a cube. The pieces include two substantially L-shaped side portions, one substantially L-shaped central portion adapted to fit between the two substantially L-shaped side portions, a substantially L-shaped top portion adapted to fit between the two substantially L-shaped side portions and on top of the substantially L-shaped central portion, and two arc-sided rectangle portions adapted to fit between the substantially L-shaped top portion and substantially L-shaped central portion. The six pieces can be arranged in a various forms.

A terminal system comprises a device terminal (2) and an operator seat (3) which can be connected to the device terminal (2), wherein the device terminal (2) and the operator seat (3) have energy and/or signal coupling parts (5) and mechanical positioning coupling parts (6) which can be coupled to each other, wherein each of the energy and/or signal coupling parts and the positioning coupling parts (6) can be engaged with each other by pushing together the operator seat (3) and device terminal (2) parallel to the ground, wherein the positioning coupling parts (6) comprise vertical and horizontal positioning means for vertically and horizontally orienting the operator seat (3) with respect to the device terminal (2) by pushing together in the coupling direction, characterised in that the vertical positioning means (7) and the horizontal positioning means (8) are coupling pieces formed separately from each other, wherein the vertical positioning means (7) has a clearance in the horizontal direction transversely to the coupling and decoupling direction (24) and the horizontal positioning means (8) has a clearance (13) in the vertical direction, wherein the vertical positioning means (7) and/or the horizontal positioning means (8) each have at least two pairs of coupling pieces (9, 10) which can engage with each other, which are spaced from each other transversely with respect to a longitudinal centre plane through the operator seat (3) and/or through the device terminal (2), and wherein tensioning means (14) are provided for tensioning the operator seat (3) and device terminal (2) relative to each other, wherein said tensioning means (14) are associated with the positioning coupling parts (6).

A frameless furniture movement assembly for moving a frameless furniture assembly, the frameless furniture moving assembly including a receiving body that accommodates the frameless furniture and prevents decoupling of the frameless furniture assembly from the frameless furniture receiver in at least one of a first direction and a second direction transverse to the first direction, and a movement assembly, mounted to the frameless furniture support, for movement of the frameless furniture support in the first direction.

A modular base system is provided that allows easy installation and maintenance in a row of motion seating units. Arms are easily removable from a base assembly. The base assembly also provides structure allowing easy installation and removal of the motion mechanism. The base assembly also allows easy installation and removal of a back panel. The motion mechanism includes a pivotal seat frame attachment allowing the seat to be pivoted upwardly, from the front of the mechanism.

A furniture leg protective sock is constructed of a stretchable/expandable non-friction material, which forms an outer surface and an inner surface. The furniture leg protective sock includes friction material which is located on the inner surface of the furniture leg protective sock.

An adjustable seating solution that enables users to adjust several seating characteristics is disclosed. In a relatively low sitting position, the disclosed device provides some support if the user leans back, but predominately supports the user's weight and requires the user to engage core muscles to maintain good posture. The disclosed apparatus enables the user to adjust the seat upward to a leaning position. A platform extends forward under the user's feet to ensure that when the user leans against the seat, the apparatus remains stable. The apparatus enables the seat portion to be tilted, such that varying contours can be selected to engage the user's body in a desired way. At low heights, the user can tilt the seat portion forward to require the user to further engage core muscles while seated. At higher heights, the user can customize the contour of the seat that engages the user's body.

A seat that can move between an upright position and one or more active positions is provided. The seat can have a base with a non-planar portion to wobble the seat into one or more wobble orientations, thereby permitting controlled pitching of the seat relative to a floor surface. The base can have one or more roll reduction pads to restrict roll in or about a roll axis perpendicular to a pitch axis about which the seat pitches. The seat can also have a post coupled to the base and a seat pan to provide a seating surface. The base can be weighted and can have a non-planar portion to wobble the seat into one or more wobble orientations. The roll reduction pads can extend radially outwardly from the apex of the non-planar portion. One or more pads can generally conform to contours of the non-planar portion of the base.

A chair having a contoured seat cushion mounted on top of an exercise ball with four tension-adjustable elastic cords such as bungee cords is provided. The shock absorbing cords may attach to the underside of the seat cushion by looping through spring-eye carabiner type hooks, and may pass through grooved locking tubes with v-channels for adjusting the cord tension. The ball may sit on top of a swivel plate, so that dynamic motion and counterbalancing are attainable for a variety of ergonomically beneficial seating styles.
