Presented is a releasable clip assembly operable to secure a cushion to a supporting surface, the assembly having a male component which is received in a first axis in a chassis of a female component. The clip assembly also has one or more engagement elements configurable into an open configuration to admit the male component and operable to return to a closed configuration to engage the received male component to secure it in the chassis, and one or more release elements operable when actuated transversely to the first axis to allow the engagement elements to be configured in the open configuration to release the male component.

A method of constructing a seating arrangement that includes providing a first chair structure comprising a first polymeric material having a first surface and a second surface, the first chair structure including at least one attachment area, providing a second chair structure, locating the second chair structure proximate the first chair structure such that at least a portion of the second chair structure covers the first chair structure, providing at least one staple member comprising a second polymeric material, wherein the second polymeric material of the at least one staple member may be recycled with the first polymeric material of the first chair structure without requiring separation of the at least one staple from the first chair component and inserting the at least one staple member through the first chair structure and the second chair structure, thereby securing the first chair structure to the second chair structure.

A chair includes a chair component comprising a polymeric material and adapted to at least partially support a seated user, wherein the chair component includes a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, and wherein the chair component further includes a plurality of apertures capable of being accessed from at least the second surface of the chair component. The chair further includes a cover that extends over at least a portion of the first surface and a portion of the second surface which includes the plurality of apertures, and at least one staple comprising a polymeric material, wherein each staple of the at least one staple includes a pair of prongs, and wherein at least one of the prongs extends through the cover extending over the portion of the second surface and is received and retained within one of the plurality of apertures, thereby securing the cover to the chair member.

An upholstery member includes a base board (101) having at least one base board opening (116), a fixation arrangement (140), and a resilient wadding (102). The wadding (102) is pressed at least to some extent through the base board opening (116) and connected to the fixation arrangement (140), thereby forming an indent (130) in the upholstery member (100). Further, the invention relates to a method for manufacturing the upholstery member comprising the steps of providing (310) a base board (101) having at least one base board opening (116) and being covered with a wadding (102) on a front side of said base board (101), passing (320) the wadding (102) through said base board opening (116), whereby the indent (13) is formed, and securing (330) the position of the wadding (102) relative the base board (101).
