The seat and the back are hinged together at their adjoining ends by at least a first articulation (8) and have, at points distanced from the articulation (8), bearing elements (13, 14) which are suspended or guided on the cradle by positive guiding means (10, 11) and are mounted for movement along paths established by the positive guiding means. The articulation (8) is free-floating. The bearing elements (13, 14) are guided by the positive guides (10, 11) independently of one another.
