AN INTEGRATED HINGE FOR FURNITURE
An integrated hinge for connecting an article of a furniture assembly to one or more articles or a main body of the furniture assembly comprising a multi-rod rigid structure and a flexible membrane. The multi-rod rigid structure comprises two or more rods arranged in a default shape, wherein each of the rods functions as a hinge arm, and wherein the rods are lateral-rotatable or pivot-able about an intersecting or meeting point of the rods. The flexible membrane has a three-dimensional contour configured to wrap around the multi-rod rigid structure tightly, fixing the multi-rod rigid structure in its default shape. The flexible membrane can be configured to wrap around the integrated hinge and articles of furniture assembly forming a single integrated furniture piece. The elasticity in the flexible membrane turns the integrated hinge into a spring hinge.
