Abstract
A modular furnishing block is engageable with another such block to create a modular furnishing block assembly. The block comprises a perimeter wall with a raised first formation on one surface and a recessed second formation on the opposite surface. When two blocks engage, the perimeter walls abut each other. The width of the first formation along the perimeter wall reduces as it rises from the surface, while the width of the second formation reduces as it recesses from the opposite surface. This design allows the first formation to fit progressively more closely within the second formation as the blocks are moved towards engagement. The resulting assembly creates a seamless and secure connection between the modular furnishing blocks, enabling versatile and customizable furniture arrangements.
Claims18
A modular furnishing block, the modular furnishing block being engageable with another such modular furnishing block to provide a modular furnishing block assembly, the modular furnishing block comprising:
- a perimeter wall providing the sides of the modular furnishing block;
- a first formation raised from a first surface of the perimeter wall;
- a second formation recessed from a second surface of the perimeter wall;
- wherein the first formation and second formation extend along the entire perimeter wall;
- wherein, when the modular furnishing block engages with the other such modular furnishing block to provide the modular furnishing block assembly, the first surface of the perimeter wall of the modular furnishing block abuts the second surface of the perimeter wall of the other such modular furnishing block,
- wherein a width of the first formation in a dimension along an inner side of the perimeter wall tapers away from the first surface and a width of the second formation in the dimension along the inner side of the perimeter wall tapers away from the second surface such that, as the modular furnishing block is moved towards engagement with the other such modular furnishing block to provide the modular furnishing block assembly, the first formation fits within the second formation progressively more closely in the dimension along the perimeter wall;
- wherein the first formation is spaced from an outer edge of the first surface and the second formation is spaced from an outer edge of the second surface;
- wherein the first formation is located at an inner edge of the first surface, and the second formation is located at an inner edge of the second surface;
- and
- wherein the inner edge of the first surface and the inner edge of the second surface are aligned with the inner side of the perimeter wall.
