To provide a control apparatus and motor-driven furniture whose operability can be improved.SOLUTION: The control apparatus comprises: an operation part including an operation receiving part capable of receiving control operation of a movable part of the motor-driven furniture; and a detection part provided at the operation part. On the basis of a result of detection by the detection part, a non-reception state where the movable part is not controlled even when the operation receiving part receives an input is shifted to a reception state where the movable part is controlled in accordance with the control operation received by the operation receiving part.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1【課題】操作性を向上できる制御装置及び電動家具を提供する。【解決手段】実施形態によれば、制御装置は、電動家具の可動部の制御操作を受け付け可能な操作受付部を含む操作部と、前記操作部に設けられた検出部と、を含む。前記検出部の検出結果に基づいて、前記操作受付部が入力を受けても前記可動部が制御されない非受付状態から、前記操作受付部が受け付けた前記制御操作に応じて前記可動部が制御される受付状態に移行する。【選択図】図1
