Stool: How to...

...create this seatback?
Can anybody explain, what is the best way to start such a twisted object.
I feel a bit helpless with that.

Hi,

do you have a reference name for this stool? Or a bigger reference image maybe?

See PM

Big thanks to you, Rich. More then I expected! Nice solution, have to try this out.
Thought Artisan is the only solution.
@leminilab you can find this chair at "team7.at" and called Girado

for sure...and a happy new year to all

Really nice Mike.....
@Rich....I tried what you suggested but reached the limit by setting the hight with vertex tools. The Fall off does not work in a curve, so the wooden back is -like your example- just in the middle ( does not follow the curve ) . I need a constant tapering in the rounding to its ends. Hope I got the right words for it.

Rich, I'm just curious how you added the offset from the front and back face detail, in order to get the edges tighter. I would assume it was JPP out with 'erase original faces' on, but it looks as though the thickness hasn't changed.

i suppose he used quadface tools > connect edges
with some quite high pinch..
