1. A chair comprising:
a seat and a backrest,
wherein the backrest comprises two lateral edges, an upper backrest section and a lumbar section,
wherein the lumbar section extends between the upper backrest section and the seat, wherein said lumbar section is provided with a plurality of perforations that extend uniformly between said two lateral edges, and wherein the lumbar section is elastically deformable to allow a backward tilting movement of the upper backrest section between a rest position and a position of maximum backward tilt under a backward thrust adapted to be applied by a user's back,
wherein said plurality of perforations are configured to stop the backward tilting movement of the upper backrest section in said position of maximum backward tilt, wherein said perforations have a rhomboid shape and are elongated in a horizontal direction and have a structure including a horizontal major axis and a vertical minor axis, wherein said perforations are arranged in horizontal arrays parallel to each other, and wherein the perforations of each horizontal array have respective horizontal major axes aligned with each other,
wherein the plurality of perforations of two adjacent horizontal arrays have respective vertical minor axes offset from each other in the horizontal direction by a distance equal to half the distance between the vertical minor axes of the plurality of perforations of the same array, and
wherein in said position of maximum backward tilt of the upper backrest section, opposite walls of said plurality of perforations come into mutual contact, so as to prevent a further backward tilt of the upper backrest section.
