## Abstract

A modular furniture arrangement includes electrically and mechanically attachable module furniture parts. The modular furniture arrangement includes at least two electrically and mechanically attachable modular panel-like elements. At least two mutually electrically insulated electrically conductive support structures arranged within at least two modular panel-like elements. The modular furniture arrangement also includes at least two attachment components for mechanically fastening the support structures of the at least two modular panel-like elements to each other and conducting electricity between the at least two modular panel-like elements. At least one electric actuator and at least one clamping component are provided. The clamping component having an adjustable length and which fixes the at least one electric actuator to a surface of the at least one modular panel-like element, wherein the at least one clamping component conducts electricity from the at least one modular panel-like element to said actuator for its use.
