ABSTRACT:
The specification discloses a modular furniture system in which a modular furniture assembly is made of a pair of elongated base frames to which a support element is mounted to serve as a chair, seat, table, or the like. Front and rear shrouds are secured over the base frames to mask them from view and end panels are provided to cover either or both sides depending on whether the unit is to be ganged against other units. Upholstery covering is provided which utilizes a unique strip hook for securing to a cross piece on the base frames and which includes front and rear "button" flanges for slipping into a space between the shroud at the front or rear of the chair and the support member. The "button" flange or strip is then rotated so that it cannot be removed from the gap into which it was inserted. A unique toggle flange ganger clip is provided for ganging adjacent module units together.
