An article of furniture includes a seat frame, first and second spaced apart seat connectors, a plurality of elongated seat panels, first and second spaced apart back post connectors, and a plurality of elongated back panels. The seat connectors and the back connectors include an upper bulbous member, a lower bulbous member, and a web disposed therebetween. The panels include first and second spaced apart channels therein with cutouts extending from the channels and opening onto a surface of the seat panels. The channels of the seat panels are receivable on the upper bulbous members of the spaced apart seat connectors to form a seat, and the channels of the back panels are receivable on the front bulbous members of the spaced apart back connectors to form a back.

A multi-positional chair assembly comprises a frame portion defined by a pair of sinuously-shaped bars. The frame portion includes a back support section, a middle section, and a buttocks support section. A panel provides a supportive surface for a user. The panel may include a metal sheet, apertures, or parallel strips of material. The frame portion can be positioned in multiple positions to provide a sitting surface, including a lounge chair position and a higher elevated stool position. The chair assembly reconfigures between the lounge chair position and the stool position through rotation. Rotating the buttocks support section and the legs to engage the ground surface achieves the lounge chair position. And rotating the back support section and the legs to engage the ground surface achieves the stool position. The chair may be of a one-piece injection-molded construction.

Stackable or nestable single person seating assemblies that include a leg support defined by a plurality of legs and a crossbar that extends between the plurality of legs. The seat assembly includes a back that is rotatably coupled to the plurality of legs and a seat that is rotatably coupled to the back. A biasing element extends from the leg support to the seat and is coupled to a respective leg. Respective portions of the biasing element provide a third pivot axis and a fourth pivot axis that are activated when the back is reclined relative to the seat.

A body support structure includes a shell having a central region, an outer peripheral region spaced from the central region, and at least one array extending between the central region and the outer peripheral region. The at least one array includes a plurality of spaced apart support members and at least one connector connecting adjacent support members within each array. The support members of the at least one array are progressively divided between the central portion and the outer peripheral edge.
