Here's a chair only composed of a single component...

Simple brilliant idea!

Great design, model and render!

Is this an idea of yours?

cotty

Thank you all.

@Bryan: Yes, it is, and the most difficult part was the placing of the holes so that all parts can be assembled like this

I like it, but could it have arms ?

GREAT !!! - I hope you've patented this !!

Very nice work.

My only concerns are

The bolt at the top of the back does not appear to pass thru the seat parts. Maybe this is just the way I'm looking at it.
The sharp edges at the front of the seat might be a bit uncomfortable on the back of the legs
Would the legs really support an adult? Given the thickness of the parts, it seems like the weight of an adult pushing down would cause the legs to spread (and break). Especially given that they are wood, with holes drilled thru them at the stress points.
With the chair sitting so low it seems like it would be very difficult to get out of the chair. And the efforts to do so would put more stress on the legs.

A possible solution might be to use the component to fashion arms. Much easier to get out of the chair, and would provide at least a little help to prevent the legs from sliding forward when weight is put on them. Rounding the ends of the parts would take care of the pointy seat edges.

Something like this maybe

I think that's a perspective thing...
