Furniture. Spacecraft. “Dungeons & Dragons” adventures. In each of these you can find modules, independent units or components that combine to make a more complete, more satisfying whole. With the modular approach, you pick and choose the components you want, putting them together in such a way as to meet your requirements effectively. Modularity ensures that your furniture fits perfectly in your room. You don’t have too much couch. You don’t have too little. You have exactly as much couch as you need.
