Abstract: A modular furniture system includes a plurality of panel elements having opposing first and second major faces, a perimeter wall defining a minor face therebetween, and at least a boss aperture which passes through the first and second major faces. A panel connector has a bridging element and at least two bosses in spaced apart relationship on the bridging element, each boss being a complementary fit in the boss aperture of a respective panel element, a first fastener recess in a distal free end of each boss, and a second fastener recess opposing the first fastener recess and adjacent to a proximal end of each boss. An oversized fastener associated with each boss has a panel-retaining head and a tail which is interengagable with the panel-retaining head.
