Abstract

A chair is provided comprising a frame (1), which may be made from tubular metal. The frame has a seat (2) mounted thereon and at least one (generally two) back frame member (5) extending upwards from the seat, at the back thereof. A back support member (4) is mounted on the or each back frame member and a back (3) is mounted on the back support member. The back support member is moulded from plastics material and comprises one or more vertical webs, the or each web being substantially thinner than the overall width of the back frame member (5). In this manner, the back can be moved backwards and forwards relative to the seat, by flexing of the back support member. Resistance to such flexing is primarily provided by the or each web.
