Abstract
A modular sofa assembly may include a plurality of seating modules each having a seat section, a backrest section, or side edge surfaces. The backrest section may include first and second portions coupled for movement between a folded configuration and an extended configuration. An armrest module may have an armrest side edge surface configured for mating engagement with a side edge surface of a seating module. The modular sofa may be assembled by aligning connectors of the seating modules and armrest module, with each respective connectors slidingly engaged along an axis. After bringing the modules together, these connections may be secured with the side edge surfaces in abutting engagement. The modular sofa further may include a power cradle mounted at the sofa's bottom surface. The power cradle may include a cubic power outlet near the front of the sofa, and power cable extending beyond the back of the sofa.
