Background technique [0002] DE4433663A1 discloses a seat with seat panels superimposed on one another, the upper seat panel being supported relative to the lower seat panel at the level of the lumbar spine by means of flexural elastic plates. Since the seat panel acts like a flat spring assembly, this seat reacts very sensitively to the upper part of the body, tending to recline resiliently as the individual leans back in the seat. Due to this construction, the substructure of the seat is subject to large loads and must be dimensioned accordingly. [0003] US6986549B2 discloses a seat with a backrest that reacts to forces acting on it by changing its shape. This backrest is formed by two surfaces called shells and has a plurality of hinges, the opposing hinges of the two shells are each connected by individual ribs. Due to its specific structure, this backrest tries t...
