<p>An article of furniture is convertible between first and second positions of use as a chair and as a lounge, respectively. A base structure includes two generally U-shaped frameworks each having first and second legs. The frameworks are connected together in spaced parallel planes by a rod connecting the first legs and by a rigid panel extending between and connecting the second legs. The base structure is movable between a first position of use whereat the rigid panel is a seat of the chair and the first legs form one support of the chair, and a second position of use, whereat the first and second legs form two supports of the lounge. A first U-shaped frame has arms pivotally mounted to respective frameworks about a first axis about which the first frame is rotatable between a first position, whereat the first frame forms another support of the chair, and a second position, whereat the first frame forms a seat of the lounge. A second U-shaped frame has arms pivotally mounted to respective frameworks about a second axis about which the second frame is movable between a first position, whereat the second frame forms a backrest of the chair, and a second position, whereat the second frame forms a backrest of the lounge.</p> |
