Abstract

A vehicle seat has a base, a front pivotable link indirectly pivotably attached to the base, a rear pivotable link pivotably attached to the base, a seat frame, a seat cushion supported on the seat frame, and a backrest that is mounted on the seat frame by way of a fitting defining a backrest pivot axis. The seat frame is pivotably attached to the front pivotable link. The seat frame is pivotably attached to the rear pivotable link in a manner that defines a pivot axis (41) about which there can be relative pivoting between the rear pivotable link and the seat frame. The height and/or inclination of the seat cushion is adjustable relative to the base by moving the pivotable links. The pivot axis (41) is positioned rearwardly of the backrest pivot axis in at least one position of adjustment of the seat cushion and/or of the backrest.
