Abstract

There is provided a modular seating assembly that includes a plurality of modules that, when assembled, can form multiple types of indoor or outdoor seating arrangements, such as an ottoman, a chair, a loveseat, a 3-, 4-, or 5-seater sofa, a 3-, 4-, or 5-seater corner sofa or sectional, an end sofa, etc. The end modules, which may or may not include an armrest portion, the leg modules, and the backrest modules can include flanges and/or brackets that are configured to be inserted in an opening of an adjacent seat module. Accordingly, two adjacent end or leg modules can be supported by a surface, such as the ground, a floor or a patio, and the seat module can be placed on top of the leg portions in a manner that the flanges are inserted into the openings, allowing the seating arrangement to be assembled in an upright position.
