摘要

Some embodiments relate to a chair (10) including a base (12), a hub (14), and a seat frame (16). The hub (14) is supported by the base (12) and includes first and second side mounts (42, 44) and first and second covers (46, 48). The first side mount (42) is positioned on a first side of the chair and includes a back portion (84) and a bottom portion (86). The first cover (46) is coupled to the first side mount (42) to define a first channel with the first side mount. The seat frame (16) includes a first lateral member (130) having a lower portion (142) and an upper portion (140) that is pivotally coupled to the back portion (84) of the first side mount (42) and is configured to angulate relative to the lower portion (142). The lower portion (142) of the first lateral member (130) is slidably received in the first channel such that two sides and a bottom of the lower portion (142) received within the first channel are substantially hidden.
