An articulated foldable armchair having at least a main body (21), a seat (2), two sides (1), each one connected to a respective arm (5), and a backrest (3) includes:

first articulated means (10) for connecting each side (1) to the respective arm (5) and defining a rotation axis of this latter, laying on a plan defined by the respective side (1);
second articulated means (11) for rotatably connecting at least a portion of the backrest (3) and for rotating this latter around an axis almost parallel to the seat (2) and orthogonal to the sides (1).

The articulated means first (10) and second (11) allow respectively to block the arms (5) and to move at least the portion of the backrest (3) in an operating condition (A), in which said arms (5) and said portion of the backrest (3) are respectively almost orthogonal to the sides (1) and spaced out from the seat (2). In a folded condition (B), said articulated means (10, 11) allow to fold the arms (5) and the portion of the backrest (3) respectively almost aligned to the respective sides (1) and nearly mating the seat (2), in order to allow the armchair (20) to have compact external dimensions.
