An art furniture system that provides a tabletop is provided. The tabletop includes an easel region, a first and a second stationary region. The easel region is hingedly attached to the first stationary region. The art furniture system also includes two side supports. A first side support is disposed under, and fixedly attached to, the first stationary region. A second side support is disposed under, and fixedly attached to, the second stationary region. When the easel region is undeployed, the easel region is located between the first stationary region and the second stationary region such that the two stationary regions and the easel region form a flat surface. When the easel region is fully deployed, it is disposed at an angle between 83° and 88°, and most preferably at angle of 86°, with respect to a plane formed by a top surface of the first and second stationary regions.
Systems and methods for a transportable sofa are provided. The sofa may include a seating unit that comprises a base, a back, a first set of hinges, and a second set of hinges. The sofa may be configured such that in a folded position the back lies in a substantially flat position, and the back unfolds to an unfolded position by swinging the top edge of the back upward and pivoting the back into a substantially upright position. The second set of hinges may include a left side hinge and a right side hinge that may be configured to fold at pivot points when the back is in the folded position, unfold at the pivot points when the back is in the unfolded position, and secure the back in the substantially upright position and prevent the back from pivoting further backwards. The sofa may also include a right armrest unit, a left armrest unit, a set of cushions, and a plurality of legs.
