The removable connectors maintain the multiple module arrangements in their custom form and provide for quick rearrangement into another form. One pair of connectors is required for the joint between each module. Each module is neatly tailored and has fully upholstered front, back, and sides for application as either end or interior seat of an arrangement. Arrangement can be made with straight module with parallel sides; inside and outside wedge modules with 22. 5 degree sides; wedge modules provide quarter circle arrangement; 8 wedge modules provide half circle; 16 wedge modules provide full circle all with seating facing either inside or outside as specified; A single straight module provides a complete chair; 3 straight modules with two pair connectors provides a complete 84 inch wide sofa, convertible in moments to a 56 inch wide sofa and a single chair, or to three single chairs.
