Abstract
A seat including a frame and a cover and having a seat surface and a backrest. The frame includes two side profiles lying at a mutual distance and delimiting the seat surface, two side profiles lying at a mutual distance and delimiting the backrest, and an upper profile extending between the side profiles. The seat surface and the backrest are defined by a cloth tensioned between the profiles. This cloth has at an end a folded-back part enclosing the upper profile, and a strap folded round the side profiles for the seat surface. A method for forming such a seat, and a frame and a cloth which are both intended for application in such a seat.

A seat, comprising:
- a frame and a cover,
- wherein the seat has a seat surface and a backrest,
- wherein the frame comprises two side profiles lying at a mutual distance and delimiting the seat surface, two side profiles lying at a mutual distance and delimiting the backrest, and an upper profile extending between the side profiles of the backrest, and
- wherein the seat surface and the backrest are defined by a cloth tensioned between the profiles, which cloth comprises at an end a folded-back part enclosing the upper profile, and at least one strap folded at least partially round the side profiles for the seat surface,
- wherein the side profiles delimiting the seat surface each have a front and rear end,
- wherein the side profiles of the seat surface are mutually connected close to the front and rear ends by a front and a rear transverse profile, and wherein the cloth lies clear of the two transverse profiles, and
- wherein the front transverse profile lies higher than the rear transverse profile, and is configured for receiving a control element of a video game.
A method for forming a seat having a seat surface and a backrest, comprising the steps of:
- providing a frame which comprises two side profiles lying at a mutual distance and delimiting the seat surface, two side profiles lying at a mutual distance and delimiting the backrest, and an upper profile extending between the side profiles,
- providing a cloth which defines the seat surface and the backrest and which comprises at an end a folded-back part, as well as at least one strap connected to a side edge, and
- tensioning the cloth between the profiles by arranging the folded-back part over the upper profile and folding the at least one strap at least partially round the side profiles for the seat surface, wherein the side profiles delimiting the seat surface each have a front and rear end,
- wherein the side profiles are mutually connected close to the front and rear ends by a front and a rear transverse profile, and wherein the cloth lies clear of the two transverse profiles, and
- wherein the front transverse profile lies higher than the rear transverse profile, and is configured for receiving a control element of a video game.
