I have always wanted to experiment with bilding a type of shell chair, and this project have inspired med to look into that again. It would be cool to make a shell chair that is not from plastic. I have always been fascinated by the french, who used papier mache to make a kind of shell chairs in victorian time, like these: https://www.1stdibs.com/buy/papier-mache-chair/ Another way to go is water formed leather like Jon Goulder have used to make this fantastic chair: https://www.jongoulder.com/catalogue-settlerschair Straw is also interesting, like used in this work by Gareth Neal: https://www.garethneal.co.uk/craft/brodgar-collection
So many ways to go...
Wow, paper, formed leather, and straw! Some very interesting options. That leather chair you linked is really handsome. I'll be very interested to follow your project if you decide to experiment with one of those materials.
