Abstract
A chair provided with a seat and a back rest, said seat (1) having a general saddle shape, a saddle-like member (2,3 ) projecting out from a mid part of each longitudinal side of said saddle shaped seat to support the rear, upper thigh portion of a chair user. The back rest (4) has a comparatively narrow, upwardly directed mid portion (5), and two branches (6, 7) projecting laterally therefrom, and intended to be used for elbow and/or forearm support. The chair can be used for sitting posture in both directions, i.e. facing away from or facing the back rest. In either of these sitting postures, the chair occupant can assume a sitting posture with a large open angle between the upper part of the body and the thigh section, the sitting posture then approaching that of a kneeling-like sitting posture.
