Zusammenfassung:	A convertible chair (100) adapted for conversion between a sitting configuration and a kneeling configuration. The chair (100) comprises a base support (102); a knee-back rest (104) movably coupled to the base support (102) by a pivot arm (108), the pivot arm (108) arranged to pivot relative to the base support (102) between a first pivot arm position in which the knee-back rest (104) is in a first knee- back rest position corresponding to the sitting configuration in which the knee-back rest (104) is positioned for use as a back rest and a second pivot arm position in which the knee-back rest (104) is in a second knee-back rest position corresponding to the kneeling configuration in which the knee-back rest (104) is positioned for use as a knee rest; and a seat (106) movably coupled to the base support (102) by a coupling mechanism (110). The seat (106) is arranged to move relative to the base support (102) between a first seat position corresponding to the sitting configuration and a second seat position corresponding to the kneeling configuration. A connecting arm (118) linking the pivot arm (108) and the seat (106), the connecting arm (118) having a first end pivotally coupled relative to the seat (106) and a second end pivotally coupled to the pivot arm (108) whereby the seat 9106) and the knee-back rest (104) are operably linked to each other. The coupling mechanism (110) comprises a releasable catch (111) arranged to couple the pivot arm (108) and the seat (106) when in the first seat position and the first pivot arm position, thereby restricting pivotal movement of the pivot arm (108) relative to the base support (102). The releasable catch (111) is arranged to release by pivotal movement of the seat (104) away from the first seat position. The coupling mechanism (110) further comprises a control mechanism arranged to control and restrict the range of movement of the seat (106) relative to the base support (102) between the first seat position and the second seat position when the releasable catch (111) is released.
