Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0176420A1] In a chair (21) with a back rest (34), the rear portion of the seat (10) has a recess (13) to receive the posterior and the upper portions of the thighs of a person, whereby the recess partially surrounds the posterior and the thighs, and comprises between 45 % and 90 % of the length of the seat. The recess is preferably deepest at the rear end and preferably adjustable. The rear portion of the seat comprises preferably seat straps (17-18) or the like, suspended between side members (23). The length of arc of the straps and the length of the seat are preferably adjustable. Preferably, the back rest comprises horizontally extending back rest straps suspended between vertical columns, and its curvature and angle are preferably adjustable. The chair has preferably an open area between the rear edge of the seat and the back rest, so that no part of the seat or back rest abuts on backwards facing portions of the person's posterior.
