Abstract
A modular furniture assembly includes a transverse member and a base member. The base member includes a base frame having a bottom panel and side panels, each of the side panels having an upper chamfered edge. The base member also includes a storage cavity at least partially defined by the bottom panel and the side panels and a lid configured to be selectively mounted on the base frame such that the lid covers the storage cavity.
Claims40
A modular furniture assembly comprising:
- a transverse member;
- and
- a base member, the base member comprising:
- a base frame having a bottom panel and side panels, each of the side panels having an upper chamfered edge;
- a storage cavity at least partially defined by the bottom panel and the side panels;
- and
- a lid configured to be selectively mounted on the base frame, such that the lid covers the storage cavity.

A modular furniture system comprising:
- a base including a base frame and a lid, the lid providing a seating surface;
- a transverse member having a height that is substantially greater than the height of the seating surface of the base member;
- a coupler for selectively coupling the base to the transverse member;
- and
- wherein the base frame is open at a top thereof and substantially closed at a bottom thereof, providing an accessible storage cavity beneath the seating surface;
- wherein upper edges of the base frame are chamfered at an angle and lower edges of the lid are correspondingly chamfered at the angle so that the lid selectively nests onto the base frame.

A modular furniture system comprising:
- a base including a base frame, the base frame having an upper perimeter edge defining a top plane of the base;
- a transverse member having a height that is substantially greater than the height of the upper perimeter edge;
- a coupler for selectively coupling the base to the transverse member, wherein the transverse member can be coupled to the base in a plurality of different locations with respect to the base such that different furniture assemblies can be formed;
- wherein the base includes an open top, providing an accessible storage cavity beneath the top plane of the base, and
- wherein the open top of the frame of the base is selectively covered by a lid that nests into the base;
- and
- wherein at least one of the base frame or the lid has a cover including a grasping strip within a flap thereof for use in mounting the cover.
