The invention relates to a piece of furniture (10) for sitting on, particularly an upholstered piece of furniture, comprising a substantially horizontal main segment (20), on the top side of which a sitting surface (22) is provided, and a leg segment (40), on the top side of which a supporting surface (42) is provided. The leg segment (40) can be moved relative to the main segment (20) between a stowed position and a functional position in which the leg segment (40) is arranged before a front edge of the main segment (20) and is oriented such that the supporting surface (42) extends substantially in a horizontal direction. In the stowed position, the leg segment (40) is arranged at least in part below the main segment (20) and is tilted relative to the functional position. According to the invention, the leg segment (40) is mounted on the main segment (20) by means of a rigid connecting member (80) which is hinged to the main segment (20) or a basic frame of the piece of furniture so as to be pivotable about a first swiveling axis (1) that is stationary relative to the main segment (20) or the basic frame of the piece of furniture. Furthermore, the connecting member (80) is hinged to the leg segment (40) so as to be pivotable about a second swiveling axis (2) that is stationary relative to the leg segment. The invention applies to variably usable pieces of furniture for sitting on. |
