Abstract
A piece of furniture comprises a stand, a seat and a back support pivotable with respect to the seat as well as an upwardly and downwardly pivotable leg support which is provided with a foot-rest, at least one operating means being arranged to, at pivoting of the back support backwardly from a sitting position, in which the feet of the user are resting on the foot-rest, and a simultaneous pivoting of the leg support upwardly and forwardly, cause such a relative movement between the foot-rest and the seat that the knee-adjacent leg portions of the user remain in supporting contact with the supporting areas of the piece of furniture. The operating means is also adapted to, at the pivoting of the leg support upwardly and forwardly, cause a movement of the seat in the direction backwardly relative to the stand and thereby relative to the pivot axis of the leg support.
