Abstract
An article of seating furniture (1) is constructed as a free oscillator having side members (6) with substantially Z-shaped resilient supporting sections (7), the supporting sections having a top end portion (9), a bottom end portion (8), and an intermediate portion (10) between them. The end portions (8), (9) of the supporting sections (7) are interconnected via a rod-shaped resiliently deformable reinforcing member (12) inclined oppositely to the intermediate portion (10) of the supporting sections. This construction prevents the chair from oscillating or seesawing excessively.

An article of furniture for seating, having a front, back and two lateral sides, the article comprising:
- a seat member (4);
- at least one elastic lateral support (7) made of an elongated profile material and disposed laterally of said seat member (4);
- said lateral support (7) defining a plurality of supporting sections located in different orientations as viewed from the sides, and having profile cross-sections;
- an intermediate section (10) of said supporting sections being provided between an upper end section (9) and a lower end section (8) of said lateral support (7), said intermediate section (10) having a non-vertical orientation and adjoining at least one of said end sections (8) pivotably, resiliently and at an angle with respect to said at least one of said end sections (8),
- wherein the end sections (8,9) of the lateral support (7) are interconnected via a substantially elongated reinforcing member (12) having, when viewed from said sides, an orientation out of registration with the intermediate section (10), said reinforcing member (12) being a compression rod and a tension rod and having a cross-section smaller than the profile cross-section of said lateral support (7).
