Nice looking model and renders. My brother and I were discussing that very chair. He's seen the original which is made of cherry and is apparently very rough with screw heads sticking out all over the place. The backrest would be a difficult thing. 1/2" thick and unsupported over most of its length. It would cup like a soup bowl unless it was quarter sawn but quarter sawn cherry isn't very pretty.
Thanks for link, too.
I have never seen the original- how funny that it is so roughed up. I can't imagine the backrest would hold up to much; FLW was moving from architecture for people in a direction that has since taken many architects to a place where architecture itself is the formal end.
Thanks for looking
