The present invention provides a desk unit assembly deployable from a closed position to an open position. The desk unit assembly has a desk portion and a chair assembly. The desk portion has a top, two opposed and vertically extending sidewalls, a rear wall and a front wall, the top, sidewalls, front and rear walls define a chamber therebetween. A chair assembly has a seat and a backrest, the seat is disposed within the chamber and the backrest forms a portion of the front wall of the desk portion when the desk unit assembly is in the closed position. The assembly has a generally cubical shape with substantially flat outer surfaces of the two sidewalls, the front wall and the rear wall when in the closed position and when the assembly is in the open position the chamber can accommodate the legs of a user. |

A bulding system for building movables formed one or more individual parts and modules. The module system is constructed on a frame (1) formed of four profiles (2, 3, 4, 5) which are joined in order to form a rectangle (7). Mounted on the frame are supporting rails (8) in which base cabinets (9) may be hung and table tops (10) may be mounted. By means of further devices which interact with the frame, it is possible to extend the system to provide top cabinets. Furthermore, the system may be equipped with technical installations and other utilities for use in connection with the work at the system, and the system may be equipped with covering, side and base panels. |

A modular storage rack for optical disc storage cases consisting of a plurality of rods extending between, and supported by, a pair of side frames. A slide abutment is removably connected to at least one of the rods for positionable sliding movement therealong, such that the abutment acts as a vertical support when less than the maximum number of cases is positioned upon the rack. Each side frame includes a groove arrangement in the top and a mating tongue arrangement at the bottom such that plural side frames may be stacked one upon the other in a stable manner. Each side frame also includes a tube support holes at each side thereof sized to receive an associated one of the rods. As such, the rods may be inserted within the receiving holes of two side frames to define a rack of single unit length. Thereafter, an additional pair of rods may be inserted into the receiving holes on an opposite side of one of the previous side frames, and a third side frame connected to the free ends of these additional rods. With this arrangement, a rack having two units length is provided by using only three side frames. |

A unique space partition arrangement creates either private, three-dimensional work stations or rooms, or a covered entryway for open office space. The module provides workers with the sensation of having their very own private room, even within extremely large, open office plans, thereby alleviating "close work" fatigue. The office module includes two sidewal panels which are positioned in a generally vertical, oppositely facing orientation, and are supported in a spaced apart and freestanding condition. A ceiling has opposite end edges connected with the upper edges of the sidewall panels, and spans the sidewall panels. The office module has a height and girth which are substantially smaller that the respective dimensions of the open office space, so that the office module can be easily transported and placed at any desired location within the room. The ceiling is positioned well above the head height of the average user, and forms a canopy, which in conjunction with the sidewall panels, defines an unobstructed, three-dimensional work station, that has a degree of privacy for more efficient work performance, without evoking a sense of claustrophobia. |
