DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] Detailed descriptions of the preferred embodiment are provided herein. It is to be understood, however, that the present invention may be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but rather as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to employ the present invention in virtually any appropriately detailed system, structure or manner.

[0035] The current invention proposes to provide a furniture arrangement with interchangeable hexagonal shaped cushions to support various needs of users.

[0036] By looking at FIG. 1 the complete architecture of proposed assembly can be seen. The interchangeable hexagon shaped cushions (10) can be placed in multiple arrangements. The FIG. 1 shows a swivel chair arrangement, where hexagon shaped cushions (10), are placed on a seating frame which comprises of metal tube (11), chair foot (12), swivel base (13) and bolts (14). The locking mechanism is used to hold and lock the cross-member at a desired length.

[0037] The FIG. 2 shows the detailed view of sofa seating with interchangeable hexagonal shaped cushion. The arrangement consist of hexagon shaped cushions (10), are placed on a seating framework which comprises of metal tube (11), chair foot (12), swivel base (13) and bolts (14).

[0038] The FIG. 3 shows the detailed view where the hexagon shaped cushions (10) are arranged to form a stool shaped furniture. The cushions (10) are placed on a seating framework which comprises of metal tube (11), chair foot (12), swivel base (13) and bolts (14).

[0039] The FIG. 4 shows an isometric view of lounge chair with interchangeable hexagon shaped cushions from behind where in addition to hexagon shaped cushions (10), metal tube (11), chair foot (12), swivel base (13) and bolts (14) can be clearly seen.

[0040] Multiple seating arrangements as shown including a swivel chair FIG. 1, a sofa FIG. 2 and a stool FIG. 3 of which each seating surface is comprised of a plurality of hexagon shaped cushion units. The seating with interchangeable hexagon shaped cushions includes a seating frame and a plurality of cushions. Seating frames are either a chair, a sofa or a stool. The chair frame as per its further embodiments has legs, a seat and back portion supported by the legs. The chair may also include a swivel structure to provide rotation.

[0041] An all-inclusive, standard unit hexagon shaped cushion FIG. 5 where the same cushion can be assembled together on frameworks to form different seating configurations. The unit's hexagon shape makes it possible to assemble the cushions closely together at different angles forming surfaces that comfortably support the user's body in an upright or relined position. The hexagon shape of the cushion is ideal for linking multiple cushions together to create a seating surface.

[0042] The cushions may be attached or removed with bolts as shown in FIG. 6. The unit is used as both a seat and back cushion and both cushions are interchangeable. The seat cushion is supported by the seat portion and is designed to hold the weight of a user sitting. The back cushions are supported by a framework.

[0043] The metal tube (11) may be made in a plurality of shapes and materials. For example, the metal tube may be flat and rectangular as shown in FIGS. 1-4. Alternatively, the metal tube may be more rounded like to support the upright position of assembly. The metal tube (11) may be made out of a solid hard material like metal and steel. Alternatively, the interchangeable hexagon shaped cushion (10) has exterior made of leather with memory foam and yoga mat foam. Thus, one would be able to comfortably rest one's body, feet, arms, or the like on the main assembly. It should be noted that the above are given as examples and should not be seen as to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0044] Skilled artisans will appreciate that elements in the figures are illustrated for simplicity and clarity and have not necessarily been drawn to scale. For example, the dimensions of some of the elements in the figures may be exaggerated relative to other elements to help to improve understanding of embodiments of the present invention.

[0045] The apparatus and method components have been represented where appropriate by conventional symbols in the drawings, showing only those specific details that are pertinent to understanding the embodiments of the present invention so as not to obscure the disclosure with details that will be readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art having the benefit of the description herein.

[0046] While a specific embodiment has been shown and described, many variations are possible. With time, additional features may be employed. The particular shape or configuration of the platform or the interior configuration may be changed to suit the system or equipment with which it is used.

[0047] Having described the invention in detail, those skilled in the art will appreciate that modifications may be made to the invention without departing from its spirit.
