The invention relates to a piece of furniture which replaces persons’ long motionless sitting while watching TV and working at the computer, with a sitting providing a continuous mobility of the human body skeletal structure. According to the invention, the piece consists of a chair having an ergonomic seat placed above a base plate fixed to a telescopic leg which rolls on some swinging rollers, between the seat and the base plate, there being an electro-mechanical oscillating assembly provided with a linear electric actuator, which imparts two simultaneous continuous oscillating movements to the seat, one of left-right inclination by 4° related to the horizontal and the other of rotation in the horizontal plane by an angle of 10° related to a median position, the repeated linear movement of the actuator being converted into two angular movements of the seat by means of a central hub.
