Abstract: An article of furniture 10 comprises a box frame 12 defining a void 14 and having a first opening 18 and an opposed, second opening 20. A lid arrangement 22 is associated with the first opening 18 of the frame 12 for closing the first opening 18. The article of furniture 10 includes a tub member 24 for closing the second opening 20. The tub member 24 comprises a dished portion 28. The tub member 24 is reversibly connectable to the box frame 12 so that, in a first orientation, at least the dished portion 28 is received within the void 14 of the box frame 12 to form an assembly of reduced volume for transportation or storage purposes and, in a reversed, second orientation, the dished portion 28 of the tub member 24 extends away from the void 14 to form an assembly of increased volume defined by a combination of the void 14 defined by the frame 12 and the dished portion 28 of the tub member 24 in its second orientation.

Abstract: A seating arrangement comprise a seat base. A seat back extends upwardly from the seat base. A backrest is displaceably arranged relative to the seat base between a first, retracted position in which the backrest is substantially in register with the seat base and a second, extended position in which at least a part of the backrest protrudes upwardly beyond a top edge of the seat back. A displacement mechanism is arranged between the seat back and the back rest, the displacement mechanism effecting displacement of the backrest from its first position to its second position.
