This invention is related to an ot-toman convertible to a seating unit comprising a back-support assembly, a seat-support assembly, a base frame, and a pair of opposed armrests. Addi-tionally, the ottoman includes a linkage system comprising a plurality of pivotably interconnected linkages, where the linkage system is configured to rotatably couple the seat-support assembly to the back-support assembly, and translatably cou-ple the seat-support assembly and the base frame. In operation, this furniture piece is moveable be-tween a closed position, resembling an ottoman, and an open position, wherein the back- support assembly forms the backrest of a seating unit ac-cessible to a seated occupant. Specifically, the pivotably interconnected linkages operate such that rearward rotational movement of the back--support assembly induces forward translation of the seat-support assembly in relation to the base frame. This movement coincidentally induces the pair of opposed armrests to raise. |
