A bracket assembly of a vehicle seat, connecting a backrest to a seat portion of said seat, that allows a pivoting movement about a hinging axis, the bracket assembly comprising:
- at least one recliner allowing at least one adjustment of the angular position of the backrest relative to the seat portion of the seat, said first recliner comprising a first flange and a second flange movably mounted to allow rotation relative to each other and connected to one another by at least one set of inner peripheral teeth, thereby defining an interface plane perpendicular to the hinging axis and passing through said inner peripheral teeth,
- a first framework forming part of the backrest structure, the first framework being connected to the first flange by a first attachment,
- a second framework forming part of the seat portion structure, the second framework being connected to the second flange by a second attachment,
- characterized in that the first attachment and second attachment are arranged on the same side relative to the interface plane.
