- Figure 8 shows in perspective a second embodiment of a modular structure comprising a plurality of modules 2 connected in pairs by connectors to form a composition.
- each module 2 comprises, on a lateral face between the front faces 7 and rear 8 a bearing surface adapted to be in contact with a horizontal surface, such as a floor or a flat surface of a piece of furniture.
- Each module 2 then comprises a base element 5 'whose thickness between the front faces 7 and rear 8 is greater than that of the base element 5 described previously so as to allow the base member 5 'to be self-supporting. Facade elements 20 can then be removably mounted on each of the front 7 and rear 8 faces of the base member 5 '.
- the base elements 5 ' can also be connected in pairs by connectors 30 to form a partition.
- the modules 2 and the connectors 30 are adapted to present all the functionalities described above in relation to the first embodiment of the modular structure 1, including the functionalities involving transmission of an electrical flow or the like.
