Abstract

The invention concerns a modular interior furnishing system comprising a plurality of different functional units, such as carcasses, work-surfaces, partition panels, lighting members, display shelves, etc., and at least one integral statically portative construction element. The construction element takes the form of a free-standing vertical closed rectangular frame. A stand extending perpendicular to the frame plane on the underside of the frame and/or a corner connection to a second adjacent frame is used for stabilizing the construction element in the vertical position. The functional units are installed such that they engage through the plane formed by the frame. The frame comprises vertical longitudinal struts with grooves or ribs for securing the functional units at the selected height. Ducts and grooves are provided in the frame for stowing cables. Preferably, the corner connections have an angular grid such that adjacent frames can be interconnected at angular positions which can be selected but whose dimensions are predetermined. Preferably, for stabilizing purposes, a carcass is fitted in the lowermost region of the frame.
