Abstract
The invention relates to a piece of seating furniture (10), more particularly to an upholstered piece of furniture, comprising a substantially horizontal main segment (20), on the top surface of which a sitting surface (22) is provided, and a leg segment (40), on the top surface of which a supporting surface (42) is provided. The leg segment (40) can be moved relatively to the main segment (20) between a stowed position and a functional position in which the leg segment (40) is disposed in front of a front edge of the main segment (20) and is oriented such that the supporting surface (42) extends substantially in a horizontal direction. In the stowed position, the leg segment (40) is located at least in part underneath the main segment (20) and is at an angle in relation to the functional position.
According to the invention, the leg segment (40) is mounted on the main segment (20) by means of a rigid connecting member (80) which is pivotally connected to the main segment (20) or a base frame of the piece of furniture so as to be pivotable about a first pivot axis (1) that is immovable relatively to the main segment (20) or the base frame of the piece of furniture. Furthermore, the connecting member (80) is pivotally connected to the leg segment (40) so as to be pivotable about a second pivot axis (2) that is immovable relatively to the leg segment. The invention relates to independently usable pieces of seating furniture.
