Modular furniture

Abstract

Modular multiple lounge seating and table furniture is provided which includes a tubular support frame. The tubular support frame is formed of a plurality of modular pairswhich may be intercoupled into a variety of configurations. Each modular pair includes a module individually formed of a U-shaped elongated tubular member having its closed end bent down into a plane extending substantially perpendicular to the plane of its open end. A cross bar is mounted across the open end of each module, and two such modules are coupled together by couplings between the respective bent-down portions to form the modular pair. A succession of such modular pairs may be intercoupled by couplings between open ends of the tubular members, between the respective cross bars at the open ends thereof, or by other means, so as to provide an assembly of any desired number of modular pairs, and of any desired configuration. Seat cushions, table tops, or other appropriate components, are mounted on each modular pair. Cushion back rests and arm rests may also be provided, as will be described.
