Abstract
A modular furniture assembly includes: a base member having a frame assembly, a transverse member having a frame assembly, a foot configured to contact a support surface, and a mounting platform having a plurality of apertures therethrough. The mounting platform is configured to be mounted on the base member frame assembly and the transverse member frame assembly, thereby connecting the frame assemblies. The foot is selectively mounted on the mounting platform, such that the foot is configured to contact the support surface when the modular furniture assembly is in an upright configuration. The mounting platform connects the base and transverse member frame assemblies together and also acts as a platform for receiving a variety of different types of feet.
Claims20
A modular furniture assembly comprising:
- a base defining a seating surface;
- a transverse member having a hole therein, wherein a height of the transverse member is substantially greater than the height of the seating surface of the base;
- wherein the base includes a frame assembly, the frame assembly defining a storage compartment providing a convenient storage area in which a user can store desired items;
- and
- a coupler configured to selectively couple the base to the transverse member, wherein the coupler selectively extends through the hole of the transverse member to thereby couple the base to the transverse member.
A modular furniture assembly comprising:
- a planar transverse member having a generally rectangular shape;
- a planar base having a generally rectangular shape, wherein a height of the transverse member is substantially greater than a height of the base, the base comprising:
- a base frame assembly having a bottom panel, side panels, and upper edges on the side panels;
- and
- a lid member configured to be mounted over the base frame assembly, such that the lid covers a storage compartment formed within the base frame assembly;
- and
- a coupler configured to selectively couple the planar base to the planar transverse member.
An assemble-able modular furniture system comprising:
- a base including a base frame, the base providing a seating surface;
- a transverse member having a height that is substantially greater than the height of the seating surface of the base member;
- a coupler for selectively coupling the base to the transverse member;
- a fabric cover covering the base frame, wherein the base frame is open at a top thereof and closed at a bottom thereof, providing an accessible storage cavity beneath the seating surface;
- wherein the open top of the base frame is selectively covered by a lid, the lid also including a fabric cover covering the lid.
