Abstract

A furniture system includes multiple furniture items ( 101 ) which are disposed to be adjacent to each other and a connection plate ( 200 ) which connects the multiple furniture items ( 101 ) to each other. At least one of two furniture items ( 101 ) adjacent to each other includes an elastically deformable cushion portion ( 102 c ) on an outer surface thereof facing the other of the two furniture items ( 101 ) adjacent to each other. The connection plate ( 200 ) includes connection portions ( 201, 205 ) which are connected to each of furniture items ( 101 ) on both end portions of the connection plate, and the connection portion ( 201 ) of at least a first end portion of the connection plate ( 200 ) can engage with and disengage from the furniture items ( 101 ) in a state where the cushion portion ( 102 c ) is compressively deformed in a direction in which the two furniture items ( 101 ) adjacent to each other approach each other, and an engagement state of the connection portion ( 201 ) with respect to the furniture items ( 101 ) is maintained in a state where the compressively deformed cushion portion ( 102 c ) is deformed in a direction in which the cushion portion returns to the original shape.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A furniture system, comprising:

         2 . The furniture system according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein an engagement member with which the connection member engages is provided on one of the furniture items adjacent to each other,   wherein the connection portion includes an insertion portion into which the engagement member is inserted in a state where the cushion portion is compressively deformed in the direction in which the two furniture items adjacent to each other approach each other, and   an engagement portion which is formed to be continuous to the insertion portion, is open with respect to the insertion portion in a direction in which the furniture items are separated from each other, and engages with the engagement member.   
     
     
         3 . The furniture system according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein a second end portion of the connection member is rotatably connected to the other of the furniture items which is adjacent thereof.   
     
     
         4 . The furniture system according to  claim 2  or  3 ,
 wherein the engagement member includes a displacement allowance portion which engages with the furniture item in a state where the connection member can be displaced in a height direction of the furniture item. 
 
     
     
         5 . The furniture system according to any one of  claims 1  to  4 ,
 wherein the furniture item includes a furniture main body, and a leg portion by which the furniture main body stands on a floor surface, and 
 wherein the connection member is disposed on a lower surface of the furniture main body. 
 
     
     
         6 . The furniture system according to  claim 5 ,
 wherein the connection member is disposed on a base portion of the leg portion.
