What is a seat tilt mechanism on a drafting chair?

The seat tilt mechanism controls whether and how the seat pan tilts forward or backward, and whether the tilt locks at specific angles. Common types include: a standard tilt that allows the seat and back to recline together, a seat-tilt-only mechanism that tilts the seat forward (useful for drafting posture where a slight forward tilt reduces lumbar strain), and a synchro-tilt that moves the seat and back at different rates for a more natural recline. A forward seat tilt of 5°–10° can be beneficial for drafting and drawing tasks as it places the pelvis in a slightly anterior-tilted position.
