This invention relates to an upright partition for use in a modular office furniture system, the partition comprising: a frame comprising: two vertical posts each having outward opposing faces defining spaced apart parallel forward and rearward planes; a plurality of horizontal beams, at least one beam in each said plane, each beam having an inward face and an outward face, the inward face of each beam being connected to one said outward face of an associated post in an overlapping moment resisting connection; and a plurality of cladding panels each connected to one said beam; whereby an internal cavity is defined inward of the outward faces of said beams, and a raceway is defined outward of said outward post faces and inward of the outward faces of said beams. The invention also relates to systems for joining two or more partitions, a system for providing decorative end coverings over the end of a partition and over the converging ends of a plurality of converging partitions, and a system for hanging cladding panels on a partition.

A portable wall partition having a frame comprising vertical posts and a plurality of horizontal beams arranged in pairs, said beams having inward faces, upwardly directed faces and downwardly directed faces, said beams extending between and connected to the posts in spaced, side-by-side parallel relation with said inward faces in opposition with each other; and a plurality of modular retaining clips for securing components of said partition to said frame, each retaining clip secured between a pair of beams and having engagement surfaces engaging the inward faces, upwardly directed faces and downwardly directed faces of a pair of beams such that said clip is retained to permit horizontal sliding of the clip longitudinally along the pair of beams and to prevent movement of the clip vertically or horizontally transverse to the longitudinal; each retaining clip having at least one securing means to which one of said components is releasably secured.
