Sitting or reclining furniture with an upper and a lower part that can move relative to each other. The upper part is suspended so as to be able to oscillate on the lower part and at least two sets of ropes are arranged functionally in series. One set of ropes is suspended by way of bridge pieces and an approximately gallows-like frame. The bridge pieces are, in turn, joined to each other through the frame.
A suspension arrangement for example for an article of furniture such as a chair comprising a base portion and a support surface portion movable relative thereto has cable hang members by which the support surface portion is suspended on the base portion. Two or more cable hang members are arranged functionally in series at each suspension location and the series-connected hang members are at least approximately of the same hang length. The mounting locations of the hang member ends which are opposite to the support surface portion and of the hang member ends which are opposite to the base portion are connected together by a frame structure.
