    (54) Furniture assemblage


    (57) An assemblage of unconnected freestanding office furniture comprises a plurality of desks (44d), tables (50c) and storage units. These furniture components are designed so as to be selectively disposed in any one of a multiplicity of work station formations. The components are further adapted to be moved relative to each other to be selectively disposed in any other of the configurations. When so disposed, certain of the components are adapted to be positioned closely adjacent one another in predetermined complementary docking relationships to provide work sections.
