ABSTRACT:
A furniture system includes a chair with an articulateable tablet, and a table adapted to interface with the tablet. The chair tablet is supported by a support arm for articulated movement between a plurality of use positions in front of the chair, a side position generally beside the chair, and a vertical storage position generally below the side position and adjacent the chair. Additionally, the tablet is rotatable without translating the tablet so that it can be oriented in an optimal position relative to the table. The table includes a base adapted to stably engage a floor and a vertically adjustable tabletop. The chair tablet has a concavely shaped edge configured to abut and interface with a perimeter section of the tabletop. The chair is mounted on castors so that the chair is horizontally movable and rotatable to facilitate positioning the chair proximate the table, so that the chair and table can be manipulated to flexibly arrange a work surface with the size, shape, and location desired.
