Abstract
A piece of furniture includes a furniture body with an upper floor, a flap, and least one flap fitting arranged on the upper floor in order to hold the flap movably between a position closing a storage space of the furniture body and an opening position. The flap fitting includes a housing, on which a support arm is rotatably mounted, which includes a retaining element for fixing the flap, and an energy store for applying a force to the support arm. A damper is provided for braking a movement of the support arm in the closing direction shortly before the closing position is reached. The damper can be moved via an actuating element mounted in the housing and the support arm can be braked via the actuating element when the flap is moved in the closing direction shortly before reaching the closing position.

A piece of furniture comprising:
- an upper floor (4),
- a flap (3, 3′), and
- at least one flap fitting (10) is arranged on the upper floor (4) in order to hold the flap (3, 3′) movably between a closing position of a storage space (80) of a furniture body and an opening position,
- wherein the flap fitting (10) comprises a housing (12) on which a support arm (11) is rotatably mounted, wherein the support arm includes a retaining element (13) configured for fixing the flap (3, 3′), and comprises an energy store (30), by means of which a force is configured to be applied to the support arm (11), and a damper (37), by means of which a movement of the support arm (11) in a closing direction is configured to be braked before the closing position is reached, wherein the damper (37) is configured to be moved via an actuating element (40) mounted in the housing (12) and the support arm (11) is configured to be braked via the actuating element (40) during a movement of the flap (3, 3′) in the closing direction before the closing position is reached;
- wherein the support arm (11) is articulatedly connected to a drive lever (17), which is articulatedly connected to a pivotably mounted deflection lever (18), by means of which the actuating element (40) is configured to be actuated before reaching a maximum opening position;
- wherein the damper (37) dampens a movement of the flap (3, 3′) in the opening direction via the actuating element (40) before the opening position is reached.
