A piece of furniture and a device for locking a first furniture part in a closing position in relation to a second furniture part, wherein the lock can be overridden using a triggering process. Releasing means are provided that are operable to unlock the first furniture part from the closing position by an externally applied, predetermined triggering force on the first furniture part in the opening direction of the first furniture part relative to the second furniture part, if the triggering process does not override the lock.
