Abstract: A piece of furniture comprises a seat, a backrest and a base. At least the seat and the base are movably coupled for reversible relative adjustment in a direction from a first configuration for sitting upright to a second configuration for sitting reclined. One or more support surfaces and a lever are operably coupled to support the seat on the base. The lever rotates about an axis transverse to the seating direction and moves being coupled with the one or more support surfaces at a first support portion defining first lever arm about the axis and a second, different, support portion defining a second, different, lever arm about the axis. The one or more support surfaces define a curved, noncircular path about the axis, such that relative displacement of the support surface and the axis in the seating direction is associated with rotation of the lever about the axis.

Abstract: A bottle carrier is configured to carry plural crown-cap bottles having a collared neck by their neck. The bottle carrier comprises a plurality of bottle holders connected to each other for each holding a crown-cap bottle along an axis of extension, wherein the connection of the bottle holders may be formed as a frame or a backbone. Each bottle holder comprises at least three resilient arms defining a holding space and configured to engage and hold the neck of the bottle and to support the bottle by the collar. The arms are further arranged to provide the bottle neck access into the holding space in radial direction, and to provide an effectively radially inward holding force onto the bottle neck.
