A device () includes a substantially planar portion () defining a seat (). One or more legs () are coupled to, and support, the seat. The seat includes a first seat edge () defining a bench receiver () that is selectively attachable to a seat receiver () of a bench () to extend the substantially planar portion along a plane () defined by the substantially planar portion by a predefined additional width ().

Modular seating apparatus and corresponding systems

Seating device

An IV pole base is configured to couple in a tessellating manner to at least one other like IV pole base. The IV pole base can comprise a horizontal rectangular plate having four side edges and a given thickness (at least along the aforementioned side edges). This plate has a plurality of tessellating elements comprising each of a blank and a tab formed at each of the four side edges. The IV pole base further comprises a stabilizing thickening element disposed at a periphery of at least one of the tessellating elements to locally increase the thickness of the IV pole base beyond the thickness of the plate to thereby increase tessellation stability. The plate also includes an IV pole coupler formed centrally thereto, the IV pole coupler being configured to receive and hold an IV pole such that the IV pole extends outwardly perpendicularly to the plate.
