1. A furniture system, comprising:
a table having a table top having a substantially planar top surface and a support base that supports the table top above a floor; and
one or more chairs, each of said chairs having a top seating surface on a top of the chair when the chair is in a seating orientation, and side surfaces oriented in a direction perpendicular to the top seating surface, wherein the side surfaces define a spacing therebetween such that when the chair is rotated to a stowage orientation, the side surfaces form a top and bottom of the rotated chair and align with an underside of the table top and the floor to visually close a space between the underside of the table top and the floor when the one or more chairs is moved underneath the table top, and wherein an outer surface of the support base is shaped to conform to the top seating surface of the one or more chairs, whereby insertion of the one or more chairs underneath the table top is stopped and aligned by contact of the top seating surface with the outer surface of the support base.
