1. A chair comprising:
a transom;
a seat support;
a back portion; and
a combined rock and recline mechanism that operatively connects the seat support and the back portion to the transom and the seat support to the back portion,
the combined rock and recline mechanism comprising:
front and rear rocking arrangements configured to enable the seat support and back portion to together rock generally forward and rearward from a neutral position relative to the transom, wherein when the seat support moves from the neutral position to a forward rocked position, a forward portion of the seat support moves forward and downward relative to the transom, and when the seat support moves from the neutral position to a rear rocked position, the forward portion of the seat support moves rearward and upward relative to the transom; and
a weight-compensated recline arrangement that is configured such that the seat support is in a first at-rest position relative to the back portion when the back portion is in an upright position, and such that reclining the back portion rearwardly from the upright position toward a reclined position moves the seat support upward and rearward from the first at-rest position to provide an upward shift in a user's centre of gravity.
