Abstract: A lounge assembly for supporting a portable electronic device having a display screen in a viewable position, the assembly including a base, a hood including a wall structure that includes an internal surface that forms a substantially downwardly opening cavity, the cavity including a front portion and a rear portion, the cavity opening circumscribed by a lower edge that has a front edge portion adjacent the front portion of the cavity and a support device supported by the base adjacent the front edge portion, the support device configured to receive and support the portable electronic device with the device display screen facing at least one of the cavity and a space below the cavity.

Abstract: An article of furniture comprises a base providing a seating area and having a back edge and a front edge, a support coupled to the base near the back edge and a distance from the front edge, and a linkage coupling the support to the base so that the support can be presented in generally upright and generally forward positions relative to the base. The distance from the front edge of the base to the support in the upright position is greater than the distance from the front edge of the base to the support in the forward position, and the support provides a surface that is a top surface when the support is in the upright position and is a rear surface when the support is in the forward position. The support remains between the back and front edges of the base in both the upright and forward positions.

Abstract: An article of furniture and seating system are disclosed. The article of furniture comprises a base providing a seating area and a support coupled to the base. A linkage couples the support to the base so that the support can be presented in a generally upright position and in a generally forward position relative to the base. The seating system comprises a base comprising a seat and a backrest comprising a first surface and a second surface. A member couples the backrest for movement on a path of travel relative to the base. The backrest is moveable to an upright position and to a forward position. When the backrest is in the first position the first surface is presented in a generally downward orientation. When the backrest is in the second position the first surface is presented in a generally forward orientation.
