18. A vehicle seat assembly comprising:
a seat part assembly including a front upper pivot point and a rear upper pivot point, the rear upper pivot point disposed rearward of the front upper pivot point;
a floor assembly including a coupling point;
a front swivel element pivotally coupled to the front upper pivot point;
a rear swivel element pivotally coupled to the rear upper pivot point;
a linear element extending from the coupling point of the floor assembly to the seat part assembly;
a transmission element operatively connected to the linear element and fixed to the seat part assembly, the transmission element configured to translate along the linear element and the linear element configured to articulate about the coupling point so that the seat part assembly is adjusted relative to the floor assembly between a first end position, in which the linear element forms a first angle with respect to an imaginary line extending through the front upper pivot point and the rear upper pivot point, and a second end position in which the linear element forms a second angle with respect to the imaginary line.
