Seating System with Multi-Position Backrest

摘要

An article of furniture comprises a base providing a seating area and having a back edge and a front edge, a support coupled to the base near the back edge and a distance from the front edge, and a linkage coupling the support to the base so that the support can be presented in generally upright and generally forward positions relative to the base. The distance from the front edge of the base to the support in the upright position is greater than the distance from the front edge of the base to the support in the forward position, and the support provides a surface that is a top surface when the support is in the upright position and is a rear surface when the support is in the forward position. The support remains between the back and front edges of the base in both the upright and forward positions.
