Reclining chair with two positions of repose

A chair having two positions of repose, comprising:

• two peripheral supports, each peripheral support having a front leg;
• a plurality of medial supports disposed between the peripheral supports in a parallel alignment therewith, the peripheral supports and the medial supports having integrated rear legs, each integrated rear leg having a first and a second contact areas, wherein a first position of repose, the front legs and the first contact area of the rear legs together form sole points of engagement between the chair and a support surface, and in a second position of repose, the second contact area of the rear legs is the sole point of engagement between the chair and the support surface, the chair being stable in both the first and the second positions of repose;
• and
• a seat and a backrest disposed between the two peripheral supports, the seat and the backrest resting on the medial supports;
• whereby in the first position of repose, a center of gravity is between the front legs and the first contact area of the rear legs, and in the second position of repose, the center of gravity is aft the first contact area of the rear legs, the transitioning between the first and the second positions of repose is achievable by shifting the center of gravity.
