Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9315630A1] A modular system of furniture includes a table defining a work surface. A plurality of legs (12) are arranged to support the table top/work surface (14). The legs (12) have a dog leg construction and provide a space between the work surface and the leg which forms part of an elongate space which extends along the edges of the table. Each leg (12) comprises an upper arm (16) and a lower part (18). V-shaped channel means are carried in one or more of the elongate spaces: the channel means are suitable for carrying conduits and the like for providing services. The lower part (18) of each leg is hollow and has an annular cross section. Further components of the system such as shelves (76) and service pods have depending legs (78) which are configured to fit inside the lower part (18) of the leg. Removable inserts (24) are provided at the corners of the table top (14) to allow the legs (78) to pass through the table top.
