ABSTRACT:
A furniture system having a countertop midsection, two tower units with gliding base, a rigid screen, and flexible partitions. Using the tower unit shaft's neck, a pivoting connection is used to provide the flexibility of arrangement. The arrangement allows for any angle to be formed between each and every component part of the furniture system without disassembling furniture. A layering design of the tower units allows for multiple configurations. It also allows each component to operate independently of each other. Flexible partitions close the openings between rigid screens and change the configuration along with the system. Furthermore, any component can be upgraded to provide different functions or assume different shapes or forms. An example is the replacement of the shaft by a cage. This allows for a file cabinet inserts or another bulky item to be inserted without eliminating the function of the shaft's neck required to provide the pivoting point for all components. Due to the ease of mobility, the entire system can be easily altered in shape or form by the user at any given time. As a result, the flexibility of the system makes possible the accommodation of any floor plan configuration.
