Abstract
The present invention relates to a seating apparatus, and more particularly to a combined table and chair. We describe a seating apparatus comprising a table (25), a chair (26) and a table base (16) wherein the table comprises a table top (10) and a table leg (11) defining an axis about which axis said table top is rotatable with respect to the table base; wherein the chair is mounted for rotation with said table top about said axis. In a preferred embodiment, the chair comprises a seat (21) and a chair frame (31) upon which the seat is mounted, wherein the frame includes at least one floor-engaging leg (22). Preferably, the table leg has upper and lower ends, the lower end being mounted for rotation upon the table base and the chair frame is mounted upon the table leg at a point intermediate the upper and lower ends thereof. More preferably, the chair frame is mounted substantially adjacent the lower end of the table leg.
