Abstract

Abstract Chair with synchronized rocking seat and backrest, comprising: a base support ( 14 ), a backrest supporting structure ( 18 ), connected to the base support ( 14 ) so to rock on a transversal axis (A), and a seat supporting structure ( 16 ) rocking on the base support ( 14 ) in a synchronized way with respect to the rocking movement of the backrest supporting structure ( 18 ). The backrest supporting structure presents, on each side of the chair, a bent metallic rod comprising: an anchoring portion ( 26 ) fastened to the base support ( 14 ), a riser section ( 28 ) which extends upwards, and an elastically deformable area ( 30 ) permitting the riser section ( 28 ) to rock on said transversal axis (A) with respect to the anchoring portion ( 26 ). The seat supporting structure ( 16 ) presents, on each side of the chair, a metallic rod ( 56 ) comprising: an anchoring portion ( 58 ) fastened to the base support ( 14 ), a lower section ( 60 ), an upper section ( 64 ) and an elastically deformable connecting portion ( 62 ) arranged between the lower section ( 60 ) and the upper section ( 64 ). Connection devices ( 84, 85 ) are provided between the upper section ( 64 ) and the seat supporting structure ( 16 ) and the backrest supporting structure.
