An armchair ( ) comprises a support frame ( ) to which a base seat ( ), a back ( ) and a footrest ( ) are fastened, which elements are movable between a first and a second positions through power-driven movement means ( ). The power-driven means ( ) is suspended from said base seat ( ) and movable therewith. Advantageously, the power-driven means is formed as a single power unit ( ), having two independent driving shafts ( ). Still advantageously, the base seat ( ) is pivotally mounted, at the front, to the support frame according to a first transverse axis ( ); pivotally mounted to the rear of the base seat is the back ( ) according to a second transverse axis ( ) for rotation of the back itself; the back ( ) has extensions ( ) extending downwardly past said second axis ( ) and having ends constrained to slide longitudinally of the armchair, so that upon rotation of the back about the second axis ( ), the base seat rotates in the same way about the first axis ( ).
