A multi-functional seat 20 for fitment to a motor vehicle configurable in a normal seating position and a bulkhead configuration. In the normal seating position a seat base 21 is substantially horizontally arranged and a seat back 22 is arranged in an upright position. In the bulkhead configuration the seat base 21 and the seat back 22 are both substantially vertically arranged so as to extend upwards from a position close to a floor 3 of the motor vehicle to a position close to a roof (2, figure 2) of the motor vehicle. When in the bulkhead position the multi-functional seat 20 forms a barrier between a rear cargo space (6, figure 2) and a front row of seats (10, figure 2). A drive mechanism linking the seat base 21 and seat back 22 may be provided to automatically change the angular relationship between the seat base 21 and the seat back 22 as the multifunctional seat transitions between the normal seating and bulkhead configurations.
