A modular furnishing block 100, in which the modular furnishing block 100 is engageable with another such modular furnishing block 100 to provide a modular furnishing block assembly 700. The modular furnishing block 100 comprises, a perimeter wall 101, a first formation 103 raised from a first surface 108 of the perimeter wall 101, and a second formation 103 recessed from a second surface 109 of the perimeter wall 101. When the modular furnishing block 100 engages with the other such modular furnishing block 100 to provide the modular furnishing block assembly 700, the first end of the perimeter wall 101 of the modular furnishing block 100 abuts the second end of the perimeter wall 101 of the other such modular furnishing block 100. A width of the first formation 103 in a dimension along the perimeter wall 101 at a location of the first formation 103 reduces with a distance by which the first formation 103 is raised away from the first surface 108 and a width of the second formation 103 in a dimension along the perimeter wall 101 at a location of the second formation 103 reduces with a distance by which the second formation 103 is recessed from the second surface 109 such that, as the modular furnishing block 100 is moved towards engagement with the other such modular furnishing block 100 to provide the modular furnishing block assembly 700, the first formation 103 fits within the second formation 103 progressively more closely in the dimension along the perimeter wall 101.
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:
The modular furnishing block of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the first formation is located inwardly from an inner edge of the first surface and the second formation is located inwardly from an inner edge of the second surface.
The modular furnishing block of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the area of the first surface is smaller than the total area of the first end of the perimeter wall.
The modular furnishing block of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the area of the second surface is smaller than the total area of the second end of the perimeter wall.
The modular furnishing block of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the first formation further comprises a third mating surface raised from a third surface on the first mating surface;
The modular furnishing block of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the first formation further comprises at least one ridge extending in a direction towards the outer side of the perimeter wall.
The modular furnishing block of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the second formation further comprises at least one groove extending in a direction towards the outer side of the perimeter wall.
The modular furnishing block of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the first formation further comprises a first locking hole.
The modular furnishing block of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the second formation further comprises a second locking hole.
The modular furnishing block of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the perimeter wall further comprises an access hole.
The modular furnishing block of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the modular furnishing block further comprises a lid coupled to the first end of the perimeter wall.
The modular furnishing block of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the modular furnishing block further comprises a base coupled to the second end of the perimeter wall.
The modular furnishing block of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the modular furnishing block further comprises a filler disposed inside the perimeter wall.
The modular furnishing block of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the perimeter wall forms a square or rectangle.
The modular furnishing block of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the perimeter wall is formed of first, second, third, and fourth separable members.
The modular furnishing block of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the perimeter wall has a shape which is capable of being tesselated.
The modular furnishing block of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the modular furnishing block is formed of plastic, preferably wherein the modular furnishing block is formed of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, ABS, and more preferably wherein the modular furnishing block is formed of recycled ABS.
The modular furnishing block of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the modular furnishing block further comprises a covering, wherein the covering is applied to the outside of the perimeter wall;
A modular furnishing block assembly, comprising the modular furnishing block of any one of the preceding claims engaged to at least one other such modular furnishing block.
