An adjustable base is provided that includes a fixed frame and an articulating frame connected to the fixed frame. The articulating frame includes an upper body frame pivotally connected to the upper section of the fixed frame, a seat frame pivotally connected to the upper body frame and movable along a central section of the fixed frame, and a leg frame pivotally connected to the fixed frame. An actuator is further included and has a first end connected to the seat frame adjacent to the leg frame and a second end that is connected to a linkage attached to the articulating frame. Upon activation of the actuator, the upper body frame is articulated upward and the seat frame moves linearly along the central section of the fixed frame toward the upper section of the fixed frame. Systems and methods for controlling an adjustable base assembly are further provided.

A furniture system is disclosed comprising a guiding bracket (1), a first furniture part (8) and a second furniture part (13). The first furniture part (8) is movable in view of the second furniture part (13) along a sliding direction (SD). The guiding bracket (1) comprises a through-going passage (3) forming part of a guide and having an extension coinciding with the sliding direction (SD), and an attachment protrusion (11) having an extension in a direction transverse the sliding direction (SD). The second furniture part (13) comprises a recess (12) arranged to lockingly receive the attachment protrusion (11) of the guiding bracket (1). The first furniture part (8) comprises a rail (7) arranged to extend through the through-going passage (3) of the guiding bracket (1) and to be slidable along said through-going passage (3) thereby allowing the first furniture part (8) to be movable in view of the second furniture part (13) along the sliding direction (SD). Further a guiding bracket (1) and the use of such guiding bracket in a furniture of the extendable type is disclosed.

A seating unit such as a chair, daybed, love seat or sofa. The seating unit includes a base adapted to provide a seating surface for a user and a seat back adapted to provide a surface for supporting a back of the user. A flexible joint connects the seat back as a cantilever to the base creating a horizontal pivot adapted for rotating the seat back along its Z-axis between a first stowed position and a second deployed position while substantially preventing movement of the seat back along its X-axis and Y-axis. In one embodiment, the base is a split base comprising a first portion and a second portion foldable for storage and shipping and unfoldable for use.

A modular sofa assembly described herein includes a plurality of seating modules each having a seat section, a backrest section, and side edge surfaces. The backrest section includes first and second portions coupled for movement between a folded configuration and an extended configuration. An armrest module has an armrest side edge surface configured for mating engagement with a side edge surface of a seating module. The modular sofa is assembled by aligning connectors of the seating modules and armrest module, with each respective connectors slidingly engaged along an axis. After bringing the modules together, these connections are secured with the side edge surfaces in abutting engagement. The modular sofa further may include a power cradle mounted at the sofa's bottom surface. The power cradle includes a cubic power outlet near the front of the sofa, and power cable extending beyond the back of the sofa.
