Abstract
In a seat comprising a seat portion, a backrest portion which is adjustable in inclination relative to the seat portion, and first and second adjustable armrests at respective sides of the seat, each armrest is connected to a fixing element for fixing it to a mounting element carried on the seat portion. By disposing the mounting element on the seat portion the position of the respective armrest is independent of the inclination of the backrest portion. A connecting element connects the fixing element to the mounting element in such a way as to provide for adjustment in respect of height of the armrest and/or so as to permit pivotal movement of the armrest about an axis extending transversely with respect to the seat.
