  • Patent number: 8967743
    Abstract: A furniture component includes a base having a back wall with a first outer vertical face, a first inner vertical face and a first upper edge. A pair of horizontally spaced apart side walls each have a second outer vertical face, a second inner vertical face and a second upper edge. The first and second upper edges are substantially coplanar. An outer top includes a bottom surface spaced above the first and second upper edges and defines a visible gap therebetween. The outer top has a rear edge and a pair of horizontally spaced apart side edges. The rear edge and the first outer vertical face are substantially coplanar, and the side edges and second outer vertical faces are substantially coplanar. A method of assembling and using the furniture component are also provided.

  • Patent number: 8128175
    Abstract: A suspension seating structure having a body support assembly which includes a membrane formed from at least one strap spanning across an opening. Each strap is coupled to a frame member through a retaining structure. The retaining structure is coupled with or forms part of each frame member and provides a structurally secure body support assembly. A cushion material encapsulates the membrane, where the cushion material contains relief channels to permit the membrane to respond more freely in response to a load.
