Sealing strip for furniture

A sealing strip for integration with a pre-integrated or preformed groove within a furniture, to prevent ingress of dust into the furniture, the sealing strip comprising:

• a deformable sealing profile comprising a teardrop cross-section, wherein the deformable sealing profile comprises a first outwardly curved side, and a second outwardly curved side opposite to the first outwardly curved side, wherein ends of the first outwardly curved side and the second outwardly curved side engage to define a rounded leading edge, and a sharp trailing edge opposite to the rounded leading edge, and wherein the deformable sealing profile is configured to firmly secure the sealing strip to the pre-integrated or the preformed groove in the furniture, thereby preventing the ingress of the dust into the furniture;
• a channel running along a length of the sealing strip;
• a plurality of parallel aligned reinforcement ribs on a sidewall of the channel proximal to the first outwardly curved side, wherein the reinforcement ribs extend along the length of the sealing strip;
• and
• an adhesive layer on the first outwardly curved side on an outer surface of the deformable sealing profile, wherein the pre-integrated or the preformed groove is configured to accommodate the first outwardly curved side of the deformable sealing profile, wherein the adhesive layer is used to affix the first outwardly curved side of the sealing strip in the pre-integrated or the preformed groove, and wherein the sealing strip is cut in the sharp trailing edge to form a notch to facilitate inward bending of the sealing strip and to thereafter affix the first outwardly curved side of the sealing strip inside bends in the pre-integrated or the preformed groove.
