Furniture item equipped with a compartment that can be closed by leaves

Furniture item comprising:

• a compartment with a front opening bounded by walls and a ceiling,
• an L-shaped guide arranged on the ceiling of the furniture item,
• a first and second leaf coupled together in such a way as to be able to fold one on top of the other to uncover the compartment or to be able to be arranged as coplanar leaves and close the compartment, the first leaf having a free end which is slidingly coupled to the guide to obtain an effect of closing and opening of the leaves like a folding-sliding system,
• a column element that is
• hinged at one end of the second leaf,
• coupled with two parallel guides mounted on the side of the furniture item inclined with respect to a horizontal plane, so that the column element can
• move linearly along the side of the furniture item parallel to the depth of the compartment while remaining at the same height from the ground, and
• move linearly between two positions, a first position adjacent to the opening of the compartment and a second position adjacent to the rear of the compartment,
• coupled with the inclined guides and the second leaf so that
• while moving to the second position, and then staying at the second position, the column element accompanies and/or pushes the coplanar leaves to fold like the folding-sliding system, to pack themselves one on top of the other and to arrange themselves as packed leaves packed parallel to the side of the furniture item, and
• while moving towards the first position, and then remaining at the first position, the column element extracts the packed leaves out of the side of the furniture item and brings them to unfold in front of the compartment.
