Abstract
A modular furniture system includes a plurality of frame portions, a plurality of slats, a first removable support; and a first coupling mechanism. The first coupling mechanism is configured to couple a first slat of the plurality of slats to the first frame portion without using any tool, and to release the first slat from the first frame portion without using any tool.
Claims17
A modular furniture system comprising:
- a plurality of frame portions including a first frame portion and a second frame portion, each of the frame portions including a first recess;
- a plurality of slats including a first slat, the first slat including a first frame contact surface, a second frame contact surface, a first distal end surface, and a second distal end surface,
- the first frame contact surface being configured to abut an inner surface of the first frame portion,
- the second frame contact surface being configured to abut an inner surface of the second frame portion, the inner surface of the first frame portion facing the inner surface of the second frame portion,
- the first distal end surface being configured to fit through the first recess of the first frame portion, and
- the second distal end surface being configured to fit through the first recess of the second frame portion;
- a first removable support configured to abut the first frame portion and the second frame portion;
- and
- a first coupling mechanism configured to, without using any tool,
- couple the first slat to the first frame portion, and
- release the first slat from the first frame portion.

A method of assembling a modular furniture system, the method comprising:
- coupling, without using any tool, a first frame contact surface of each of a plurality of slats to a first frame portion such that a first distal end surface of each of the slats passes through a respective one of a plurality of recesses of the first frame portion;
- and
- coupling, without using any tool, a second frame contact surface of each of the plurality of slats to a second frame portion such that a second distal end surface of each of the slats passes through a respective one of a plurality of recesses of the second frame portion;
- and
- coupling, without using any tool, a removable support to each of the first frame portion and the second frame portion.
