Abstract (en)

An article of upholstered furniture, such as a chair, settee or bed, is constructed by forming a frame as an assembly comprising a pair of end members (11) and a plurality of spacer members (13, 14, 15) adapted to be loosely assembled with the end members without forming a rigid frame, and the frame (10) is rigidified by tensioning means (20) comprising resilient elements which draw the end members (11) onto the spacer elements (13, 14, 15). Preferably the tensioning means comprises a suspension (21-28) which, in use, supports the weight of a person resiliently.
