Beam mounted chair assemblies may include at least two standards supported on a floor, a beam secured to, and supported by, the standards, and a plurality of chair assemblies secured to, and supported by, the beam. Chair assemblies may be secured to a beam via associated chair brackets. Chair brackets may include chair seat pivots that pivotally secure a chair seat in proximity to a chair back such that the chair seat may pivot between an up and a down position. Chair brackets and standards may be secured to a beam such that the chair brackets and standards may be linearly positioned along a full length of the beam without interfering with one another.

A compact folding furniture piece constructed as a table is configured for convenient storage. The folding furniture piece comprises an object support assembly that is configured for operative connection to a mounting structure and includes a spring mechanism securing together as a flexible unit a support mount, an articulated vertebral column, and a table base. The spring mechanism exhibits flexibility properties such that the object support assembly assumes at rest an unfolded state and, in response to an externally applied bending force, assumes a folded state. In the unfolded state, the vertebral column is substantially straight to provide a closed support surface. In the folded state, the vertebral column is curved to provide a raised, open support surface on which an object can rest.

A folding chair has a front leg assembly and a rear leg assembly rotatably mounted to the front leg assembly, the rear leg assembly foldable between an unfold extended configuration and a folded compact configuration wherein the rear leg assembly extends about parallel to the front leg assembly. The folding chair has a backrest mounted to the front leg assembly. The folding chair has a seat rotatably mounted to the front seat assembly, the seat being movable between a seating position and an upright position. The hair has a counterweight and damping components damping the pivotal motion of the seat when reaching the seating position and the upright position.

A reconfigurable seating system may include a bank of seating units disposed in rows. Associated chairs may be arranged in the seating units, supported on support beams by chair brackets. The reconfigurable seating systems may be installed on flat floors or sloped floors and may be arranged in linear-rows and/or arched-row configurations.
