Abstract

A customizable furniture is disclosed. The customizable furniture may include a furniture base including an upper base portion and a lower base portion. The customizable furniture may further include a metal aperture bar extending at the lower base portion and a leg base configured to be inserted in the metal aperture bar. The customizable furniture may additionally include an interchangeable leg casing configured to be removably attached to the leg base to enable attachment of the interchangeable leg casing with the furniture base. The interchangeable leg casing may include a cavity to receive the leg base.

Claims (33)

1. A system comprising:

a furniture base comprising an upper base portion and a lower base portion;

a metal aperture bar extending at the lower base portion;

a leg base configured to be inserted in the metal aperture bar; and

an interchangeable leg casing configured to be removably attached to the leg base to enable attachment of the interchangeable leg casing with the furniture base, wherein the interchangeable leg casing comprises a cavity to receive the leg base,

wherein the leg base comprises a first member and a second member integrated with each other, wherein the first member is configured to be inserted into the cavity, and wherein the second member extends laterally from a first member top portion.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first member is disposed at a predetermined angle relative to the second member.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second member comprises a proximal end and a distal end, and wherein the proximal end is attached to the first member top portion.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the distal end comprises a connection unit configured to attach the leg base with the metal aperture bar.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the connection unit comprises a peg configured to be inserted into the metal aperture bar, and wherein a peg longitudinal axis is parallel to a first member longitudinal axis.

6. The system of claim 4 , wherein the connection unit is disposed at a predetermined height from the first member top portion.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the interchangeable leg casing comprises a first magnetic material, and wherein the leg base comprises a second magnetic material.

8. The system of claim 1 further comprising an interchangeable frame casing configured to cover the upper base portion.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the interchangeable frame casing comprises a third magnetic material configured to magnetically attach to the metal aperture bar.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the third magnetic material is disposed on interchangeable frame casing edges.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the furniture base is at least one of a sofa, a bed, a bench, a table, a chaise, a headboard, and a chair.

12. A system comprising:

a furniture base comprising an upper base portion and a lower base portion;

a metal aperture bar disposed on the furniture base;

a leg base configured to be inserted in the metal aperture bar;

an interchangeable leg casing configured to be removably attached to the leg base to enable attachment of the interchangeable leg casing with the furniture base, wherein the interchangeable leg casing comprises a cavity to receive the leg base; and

an interchangeable frame casing configured to cover the upper base portion, wherein the interchangeable frame casing is magnetically connected to the metal aperture bar.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the leg base comprises a first member and a second member integrated with each other, and wherein the first member is configured to be inserted into the cavity.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the first member is disposed at a predetermined angle relative to the second member.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the second member extends laterally from a first member top portion.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the second member comprises a proximal end and a distal end, and wherein the proximal end is attached to the first member top portion.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the distal end comprises a connection unit configured to attach the leg base with the metal aperture bar.

18. A system comprising:

a furniture base comprising an upper base portion and a lower base portion;

a metal aperture bar extending at the lower base portion;

a leg base configured to be inserted in the metal aperture bar; and

an interchangeable leg casing configured to be removably attached to the leg base to enable attachment of the interchangeable leg casing with the furniture base, wherein the interchangeable leg casing comprises a cavity to receive the leg base,

wherein the leg base comprises a first member and a second member integrated with each other, wherein the first member is configured to be inserted into the cavity and the second member is configured to be attached to the metal aperture bar, and wherein the second member extends laterally from a first member top portion.
