Abstract

Described is a seat (10) comprising a seat squab (12) and a backrest (14) which is displaceable in respect of its inclination. In order to achieve a load relief for the intervertebral disc of a user of the seat and thus optimum seating comfort, the seat (10) provides that the backrest (14) is displaceable between convex lordosis positions and concave kyphosis positions in dependence on the respective backrest inclination.
