However, in the technology described in Patent Document 1, when a user in a seated position and a user in a standing position sit on a chair and work side by side, the user in a seated position and the user in a standing position The height of the line of sight with respect to the user's posture is different. As a result, for example, it may become difficult for both parties to communicate.

On the other hand, in order to make the line of sight the same for users in a seated position and those in a standing position, the furniture is a high table suitable for working in a standing position, and the chair is placed at the height of the high table. One idea is to make a high stool that matches the height of the room. However, since the feet of the person sitting on the high stool do not reach the floor surface, it is necessary to separately provide a footrest on the high stool, which may increase the manufacturing cost of the fixture system.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention provides a fixture system and fixture system that can easily match the line of sight of a user in a seated position with that of a user in a standing position, and that improves the appearance of the entire fixture at a low cost.
