    Abstract: A furniture system including a base and transverse member, with an induction charger provided in the transverse member and/or base, hidden from view and feel, embedded, e.g., at least 10 mm below the charging surface. In an embodiment, the transverse member includes a frame having an upper panel and an induction charger elastically secured at least partially above the upper panel such that the induction charger is elastically pushed down toward or through the upper panel when a force is exerted downward onto the induction charger. The induction charger elastically yields downward or otherwise toward or into the furniture system in response to loads, such as loads from sitting on the induction charger, to prevent damage thereto. The induction charger can elastically yield as such and still be positioned close enough to the surface of the furniture system to effectively charge electronic devices placed thereon.

    Abstract: A modular cabinet assembly includes a first cubby element having a box shaped configuration and bounding a first compartment, the first cubby element having a front face extending between a first side and an opposing second side and encircling an opening to the first compartment. A second cubby element is similarly configured. The cubby elements can be stacked, or positioned side-by-side. A removable clip can secure the first cubby element to the second cubby element. In an embodiment, various cubby elements, of related widths can be provided, e.g., a first cubby element of width (x), a second cubby element of width (2×), a third cubby element of width (3×), and/or a fourth cubby element of width (1.5×). An embodiment can include a false back defining a hidden cavity and/or stacking brackets, for securely stacking cubby elements.

    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 sling chair includes a frame having a base with a forward end and an opposing rearward end. A back rest upstands from the rearward end of the base and has an upper end. A plurality of flexible, spaced apart straps longitudinally extend from the upper end of the back rest to the forward end of the base. The effective length of the straps can be adjusted. A pillow or cushions can be disposed on the plurality of straps.
