  • Patent number: 8622473
    Abstract: A chair includes a seat and a supporting structure associated for positioning of the seat in an orientation in which the seat has a downward inclination towards its front edge. The supporting structure includes an elongate member on each side of the chair, each member extending substantially continuously between the seat and a rearward region of the chair via a floor-engaging region of the supporting structure. Each elongate member has a generally loop-shaped configuration, with the seat end region of the elongate member overlying the opposite end region of the elongate member, and has an inherent resilience with a bias in which the seat end region is spaced from the opposite end region in the unoccupied state of the chair and the seat has the desired forwardly-downward inclination, wherein the resilience is selected such that the seat end region approaches or comes into engagement with the opposite end region when the chair is occupied.
