Pilou, Michael is correct.

Nice one. Is that pretty advanced wood bending? Clay, AO, hidden geometry please (haha)!

Peter, the real chair doesn't involve any real specialized bending. It's a bunch of shop-made veneers glued up over bending forms. The narrower seat slats are glued up out of veneers wide enough to make two slats after the glue cures.
Here's the mesh. Nothing very difficult for modeling. the biggest challenge for me is that in reality the laminations have a little spring back when they come off the forms. There's no good way to make an allowance for that spring back in modeling. The front leg/arm rest curve is based on the curve from the bending form and not the actually parts after they were removed from the form. The stretcher that runs behind the backrest is drawn based on the actual stretcher that was fitted to the chair during assembly.
