Abstract

Seating in the form of a chair or similar piece of furniture. The legs are connected by a frame. The frame is a torsionally rigid box with a top and bottom connected and prevented from shifting in relation to each other by lateral stretchers. In addition to connecting the legs, the frame constitutes a support for a seat. The lateral stretchers of the frame in one practical embodiment are arcs of a circle with their ends merging into corners. The legs are rigidly secured to the frame in the vicinity of the corners.
