<p>A modular furniture system (Fig. 19) based on a fundamental building block is provided. The building block, or cell (100), includes first and second end plates (102) and at least one horizontal support beam (104). A plurality of stacked and/or side-by-side cells (100) provide a framework that can be arranged in an almost limitless number of ways. The cells (100) serve as both storage space and division between neighboring work spaces, thus conserving raw materials and recovering floor space. The cells (100) further provide raceways (160) for concealing electrical wires and data cables, and are adapted for supporting work surfaces and connecting to vertical panels. The cells (100) are adapted to receive various storage components, such as drawers (176), which may be inserted from both a front side and a back side of each cell (100). The cells are also adapted to receive tiles (182), which may cover open sides of each cell.</p> |
