  • Other systems for fixing a channel profile 4 can be envisaged, an alternative consisting of machining a groove rather than 'a tenon.
  • the manufacturing process comprises the installation, for example by embedding and / or by gluing, of a longitudinal channel profile 4 along the longitudinal edge of the central core 2. This step is carried out on each longitudinal edge of the central core. 2.
  • the manufacturing process comprises the application of two coatings 3 on each of the opposite faces F of the central core 2.
  • a bonding of the coatings 3 on the central core and the channel profiles 4 can be carried out in order to secure the assembly and get a sandwich structure.
  • the sandwich structure defining a panel P i comprising the two coverings 3 and the central core 2.
  • the coverings 3 are designed to protrude beyond the two longitudinal edges B lon of the central core 2.
  • the process comprises bonding the coverings 3 on the channel profiles 4 on each side of the Pi panel.
  • the manufacturing process may include a step of pressing the coatings 3 onto the central core 2.
  • An advantage of a structure of the invention is to obtain a completely modular furniture, namely, composed of simple elements that take up little space, easily and quickly assembled, dismantled and transportable.
  • Another advantage is that it allows a certain upgradeability of furniture by removing or adding additional new parts.
  • Another advantage is that it allows a wide choice of surface finishes, materials and colors.
  • Another advantage is to offer a technical channel without discontinuity.
  • Another advantage is the robustness of the connections between the panels and the high flexural strength of these panels, making it possible to consider bold shapes.
  • Another advantage is being able to freely define the shape of the structures, and that with great dimensional precision.
  • Another advantage is to hide the technique (connectors, cabling, etc.) under a finishing profile 10 with various shapes and aspects where only the radial cuts of said finishing profile 10 remain, thus guaranteeing a sober and refined aesthetic.
