  • Publication number: 20080196635
    Abstract: Nesting and folding table, comprising a supporting structure including two pairs of legs, a top articulated to the supporting structure about a horizontal axis and mobile between a position of use and a position of storage, and a pair of supporting devices each including an arched guide fixed with respect to the top, a rotatable arm, and a supporting member, carried by the rotatable arm and slidably engaging said arched guide. The first and the second pairs of legs are both fixed to one another and are staggered with respect to one another in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation of the surface. Said arm has a first end that rotatably engages an end of a respective leg and a second end that is connected to said supporting member by means of a joint, designed to enable a movement of rotation of the supporting member with respect to said second end of the arm about at least two mutually orthogonal axes.

  • Patent number: 7387332
    Abstract: Chair convertible into chaise-longue, comprising a stationary base structure, a first support section fixed relative to the base structure, a second support structure movable relative to the base structure and able to be moved from a substantially horizontal position to an inclined position in which the second support section forms an upward extension of the first support section, and a movable support element having a third and a fourth support section, fixed relative to each other and mutually inclined. The movable support element is movable relative to the base structure between a first and a second position. In the first position, the third support section is parallel and opposite to the first support section and the fourth support section extends upwards starting from the third support section.
