Abstract: PURPOSE: To obtain a new and unique structure for partitioning an open office plan by arranging a plurality of individual selfsupported furniture units supported individually on the floor of an open office. CONSTITUTION: The modular furniture comprises a working plane panel 5, and a support coupled with the working plane panel 5 in order to form a selfsupported furniture unit 4. A furniture configuration 1 includes at least one overhead 7 and at least two rigid supporting bases having lower end shaped to be jointed to a support 14 and upper end shaped to be jointed to the overhead unit 7. When the overhead unit 7 is fixed onto the furniture unit 4, a cap is removed from the working plane panel and the supporting base is jointed, at the opposite end parts thereof, to the support and the overhead unit 7, respectively. According to the structure, a unique arrangement for partitioning an open office plan can be realized without requiring conventional partition panel.
