hi everyone
just wondering if it is possible to sketchup a curvy chair like this one?

Welcome
There are many 'chair' threads and tutorials on here.
A recent one for a similar chair is http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=340215#p340215

I'd say it's certainly do-able, but it'll be no mean feat. I imagine the wire frame would be particularly tricky and I for one would be keen to know the best way to tackle this aspect of the modelling.
If you don't need an exact match, then this chair in the 3D Warehouse could work:

Looks like a job for artisan.
I haven't been able to get good results with it, but I'm sure it is possible with a good proxy. -
Artisan might make it easier, but it's not essential. This version was made way back in early 2009. I think you can do this kind of thing using Curviloft or even the Sandbox tools like From Contours.

It looked pretty easy from that tiny stamp image, but then I had a look at this page with some more photos: http://www.dedece.com.au/products/Knoll-Studio/Seating/Chairs/Bertoia-High-Back-Chair/1258?showAllimage=1
Suddenly it looks a little less easy...
But it certainly is doable in basic SU, although using some plugins may make it a lot easier. Like Joint Push Pull, Amorph, Artisan, TIGs EE tools etc.It looks nice, but not very comfortable BTW
