Challenge - Model this unique chair

Nice, John!
A version with texture (same for all component copies, a little bit repetitive
)...

My approach for this nice chair...
- one component
- arc tool
- scale tool
- circle tool
- rotation tool
- mirror plugin
Commendations, cotty! Your method is precisely the approach that I took. (Nice, concise presentation, by the way.)
For the confused, the "trick" was to look for additional online photos, to find the "slab" mounted on the wall (or lying on the floor.) I imported a "slab" photo, as a texture, which I formatted to correct the perspective distortion. That one image provides the relative lengths of all the parts.
Getting the footprint "spread" (distance, front-to-back) is, then, the only factor requiring some trial-and-error. Even then, there is a clue in the first photo. (Look for the two front stiles that are near vertical.)
Well, I have to say that, apparently, the challenge wasn't much of a skills test, for you insightful sketchUcation members. Regardless, I hope that, if you haven't yet given it a try, that you will -- adding something of value to your skill set.(I agree with other participants, that an animated depiction would be nice to see.)

Thank you. Your smaller (drawn to scale) wooden slats looks much nicer and the sitting angle seems to be more comfortable.
Thank you again for this challenge.

Nicely done Taff, thanks for making the model available to us. Very generous.

THX to Taff Goch!
Any idea of the real articulation on the Up part moving corner ?
Pasted scotch, velchro double face, hinge, ... ?
Ps Funny: materials seems French fries!

'Pilou
It's hinged.
The metal [stainless-steel?] hinges are set flush into the wood.
They are on the back-side of the folded-flat version - you do not see them unless it's assembled, and even then they are underneath the wooden pieces.

Thx for the info!
Seems a dangerous chair for hands' children or old person!

I would add, "fragile" and "unstable," as well.
There is no lateral (side-to-side) connection, except at the floor "hinge." Any lateral force, up top, will bend and/or break things, down below.
Attractive visually, but needs some serious real-world engineering to make it practical furniture.
All I can think to say,Box, is that your posted image is, indeed, an animation.
