Abstract
A divan is configurable between upright and table configurations. The divan includes linkages which enable rotation of a backrest from the upright configuration to the table configuration. The divan includes a seat pan which is joined in the upright configuration and split in the table configuration. Joining the seat pan in the upright configuration provides a seating region with extra length. Splitting the seat pan in the table configuration provides two seating regions, one on each side of the table.
