Abstract:
A modular interior furniture add-on system comprising:a plurality of functionally different units,at least one uniformly designed structural element having a static load-bearing capacity;said at least one structural element is a vertical, closed rectangular frame defining a plane of the frame;said frame essentially consists of two vertical support posts and two tie bars horizontally connecting the vertical support posts;a bottom support element oriented perpendicular to the plane of the frame attached to a lower surface of the frame for supporting the frame, a corner joint for connecting the frame to an adjacent other frame;the functional units being mounted to the frame so that they project through a plane defined by the frame;each at least one structural element forms a stand-alone frame that is independent with respect to its vertical support posts and its horizontal tie bars from any neighboring frame; andcorner connection means for connecting two neighboring stand-alone frames, at the corner joint so that they can be loosened as required.
