Abstract: The modular furniture system, particularly for offices, comprises at least one column-like upright element having a vertically elongate body and a plurality of fixtures which can be coupled selectively to the two ends and to the body of the upright to form a furniture arrangement. The vertical positions of the fixtures coupled to the body of tile upright can be adjusted continuously to achieve different heights for components such as work surfaces, shelves, suspended units, screens, lighting equipment and the like. The upright is self-supporting and permits multiple connection of fixtures which are independent of one another.

Abstract: The structure of an office furnishing system is constituted by a plurality of modular elements which can be interconnected in various possible configurations, the same basic elements being usable to form work stations as well as partition walls and screens, integrated into a harmonious unit. Each modular element includes a framework of upright members and cross members interconnected together. Each upright member and each cross member is formed from two parallel, profiled, metal sections spaced apart and interconnected by in at least two regions by first and second connectors respectively. The first and second connectors have complementary engaging surfaces for quickly connecting the cross members to the upright members.

Abstract: A partition wall comprising a frame consisting of a number of vertical uprights and crosspieces, and covered on both faces by a number of panels.The main characteristic of the present invention lies in the aforementioned upright being formed from a bent sheet metal section with clinched lateral edges defining a hollow, substantially rectangular center portion and two opposed, substantially C-shaped lateral portions with turned-in ends.

Abstract: The invention comprises functional and esthetically pleasing modular office furniture with integrated wire management. The modules include horizontal beam modules that can be rigidly connected longitudinally and laterally in configurations that suit work flow and office personnel requirements to the office space. The beam modules are supported by vertical support modules. Work surface modules are supported by the beam modules. The beam modules may also have suspended therefrom a variety of office items such as file cabinets and keyboard surfaces. The work surface modules are adapted to optionally receive service modules such as telephones, trays, and light stands. The combined furniture modules provide hidden but accessible passages for neatly and efficiently running electrical wires from the office outlets to the points of use.

Abstract: A load-bearing bar (1) for office furniture, the bar having a modular structure and being defined by a number of interconnected modules each consisting in a bar segment (18) having a substantially U-shaped cross-section. Each bar segment (18) is formed by two lateral beams (2) rigidly connected to each other by an intermediate base element (3) which supports a channel-defining member (59) for telephonic and electric wiring.

Abstract: A beam assembly (1), in which two hollow beams (2,3) are head connected to each other by means of a connecting member (9) formed by two concave plates (11,12) arranged with their concavities facing in opposite directions and each extending part inside one and part inside the other of the above two beams (2,3); the two plates (11,12) cooperate with a force element (25) which moves them apart and against opposite walls (2) of each of the above two beams (2,3).

Abstract: A support foot for furniture, in particular office furniture, having an internal frame and a cover extending about the internal frame, the internal frame being formed by releasably connecting together a base (2), an upright (21) and a top piece (25), and the base (2) and the piece (25) clamping therebetween two lateral elements (44) to which the cover is connected.
