Abstract:

This disclosure describes a chair having a base frame, a seat support, and a backrest support. The seat support is connected to the backrest support. The backrest support is rotatably connected to a rear part of the base frame such that a pivot axis is defined about which the backrest support is pivotable. The seat support is connected to a front part of the base frame by at least one four-joint coupling mechanism, whereby the seat support is moved on a defined movement path in the chair longitudinal direction during a pivoting movement of the backrest support.
