  • Patent number: 7370907
    Abstract: A furniture system has a frame portion that may be set in one configuration to operate as a chair and can be readily reconfigured into a table. A frame portion provides support for an operating surface. In the table configuration, the frame is positioned in a first orientation with a working surface supported by the top of the frame. To change the configuration, the working surface is temporarily removed and the frame turned on its side (i.e., rotated 90°) such that a portion of the frame that was previously a leg now becomes part of the frame on the floor while a portion of the frame that was previously on the floor now becomes legs for a chair configuration. Following rotation of the frame, the working surface is reinstalled in a new orientation to complete the change and configuration.
