Abstract: A modular furniture assembly includes: a first base having a first frame assembly having a top face and an opposing bottom face; a first upright member removably mounted to the first base so that the first upright member upstands from the first base; and a connector leg assembly being removably coupled to the first frame assembly. The connector leg assembly includes: a plate having a top surface and an opposing bottom surface; a leg outwardly projecting from the bottom surface of the plate; and a plurality of spaced apart protruding members outwardly projecting from the top surface of the plate and each terminating at a terminal end face. Each of the protruding members further includes: a threaded hole recessed into the terminal end face; and an encircling side surface, at least a portion of the encircling side surface radially inwardly tapering at it extends toward the terminal end face.

Abstract: A furniture system includes a base and transverse member, with an induction charger provided in the transverse member and/or base, hidden from view and feel. The induction charger can be at least partially secured to either the base frame or the transverse member frame. The induction charger provides induction charging to a device positioned adjacent to a charging surface of the base or transverse member. The charging surface is positioned adjacent to the induction charger. Additionally, the induction charger is positioned between a first and second cushioning material. The first cushioning material is adjacent to (e.g., proximal to or on) the charging surface. The first and second cushioning materials have respective depths.

Abstract: A modular furniture assembly is disclosed herein. The assembly includes a base, an upright member, and one or more connector plates configured to selectively couple a bottom portion of the base to a bottom portion of the upright member. The base and the upright member are sized and configured in a particular defined spatial relationship where the length (X) of the base is substantially equal to the sum of the width (Y) of the base and two times a dimension (Z) which is the width (Z1) of the upright member or a separation distance (Z2) between adjacent receiving holes of the base and upright member. Thus, X is substantially equal to Y+2Z.

Abstract: An audio-enhanced furniture system comprises: a furniture assembly; an upholstery fabric at least partially covering the furniture assembly; and a speaker system positioned within the furniture assembly, the speaker system including a speaker covered by the upholstery fabric. The speaker is configured to be tuned to compensate for sound being emitted from the speaker through the upholstery fabric.

Abstract: Furniture spring systems are configured to provide support for different sized modular seating systems and/or modular bed systems. Slats extend between opposing frame or rail members to provide support to the seating or bed system. The slats have a catch disposed at a first or second end. In the seating and/or bed frame systems, the catch engages a retention member to retain the slat to the frame or rail. Adjustable bed frame systems employing such slats comprise modular bed frames and adjustable head boards and foot boards. Bed frames employing the slats and headboards/footboards thereof adjust in length or width in a variety of different manners. Adjustable bed frames adjust through the use of telescoping members, filler blocks and/or elongate end blocks that have different sizes from the standard uniform elongate support blocks employed in a bed frame.

Abstract: An electronic furniture assembly of the present invention includes: (i) a furniture assembly comprising: (A) a base (e.g., a seat portion), (B) at least one transverse or upright member (e.g., a side, armrest or backrest), and (ii) a speaker system mounted within one or more portions of the furniture assembly. A method of tuning a speaker of an audio-enhanced furniture system includes presenting a user with predetermined tuning profiles corresponding to a plurality of configuration footprint shapes in which the furniture assembly can be assembled and in response to a user selection of a given configuration footprint shape, tuning the speaker system according to the tuning profile selected by the user.

Abstract: An audio-enhanced furniture system comprises: a furniture assembly having a partially acoustically transparent material, such as an upholstery fabric or a perforated, rigid structure that is perforated in order to be more acoustically transparent; and a speaker system positioned within the furniture assembly, the speaker system including a speaker covered by the partially acoustically transparent material. The speaker is configured to be tuned to compensate for sound being emitted from the speaker through the perforated partially acoustically transparent material.
