A modular seating assembly configured for providing level or pitched seating, the modular seating assembly comprising:

• a seat base, the seat base comprising:
• a central frame, wherein the central frame has an upper surface;
• a side panel, wherein the side panel is secured to the central frame;
• and
• a corner pillar, wherein the corner pillar comprises a shelf;
• and
• a seat pan configured to provide a seating surface, in:
• (i) a level configuration that is substantially parallel to a support surface on which the seat base is mounted;
• or (ii) a pitched configuration in which the seating surface is positioned at an angle relative to the support surface on which the seat base is mounted, wherein:
• when in the pitched configuration, the seat pan engages both the shelf and the upper surface.

A modular seating assembly configured for providing pitched seating comprising:

• a seat base, the seat base comprising:
• a central frame having a first edge;
• a side panel, the side panel secured to the first edge;
• and
• a corner pillar, the corner pillar secured to a portion of the first edge;
• a seat pan configured to provide a seating surface in either a level configuration or a pitched configuration;
• and
• an outer cover configured to wrap around the seat base, the outer cover comprising an insert, wherein the insert is configured to be positioned at a first end of the side panel when the outer cover is installed around the seat base.

A seat pan for use in a modular seating assembly, the seat pan comprising:

• a central frame;
• a suspension means, the suspension means comprising:
• a non-stretching central region,
• a first stretching region that extends outward from the non-stretching central region, and
• a second stretching region that extends outward from the non-stretching central region in a direction opposite the first stretching region;
• and
• a corner coupler, wherein:
• the first stretching region and the second stretching region each elastically deform around the central frame to couple the suspension means to the central frame, and
• the corner coupler secures the suspension means to the central frame at a corner of the central frame.

A modular seating assembly configured for providing pitched seating comprising:

• a seat base, the seat base comprising:
• a first side panel, and
• a second side panel positioned perpendicular to the first side panel, wherein an end of the first side panel and an end of the second side panel define a gap;
• and
• a removable outer cover, wherein the removable outer cover comprises an insert, wherein the insert is configured to be positioned within the gap, and wherein the insert provides a soft corner to the seat base.
