Abstract

A chair (1, 1′), in particular an office chair, having a backrest (6) which is arranged such that it can be rotated about a first point of rotation (8) in relation to a seat carrier (2) and which can be inclined from a rest position, and having a seat surface (10) which is connected to the backrest (6) such that it can be rotated about a second point of rotation (12) and which can be inclined synchronously with the backrest, is intended, in particular in terms of its tendency to tilt, also to be suitable for a particularly pronounced inclination movement of the backrest (6) with an inclination of, for example, up to 40° in relation to the starting position of the same. For this purpose, according to the invention, in the rest position, the first point of rotation (8) is positioned at approximately the same height as, or higher than, the second point of rotation (12).
