On parts and builds
- The pictures show two different versions of the chair. One with a straight and one with a tilted backleg.
- This prototype has straight boards for the seat and backrest. In a commercial version, appropriate curves would be incorporated into the seat and backrest to ensure seating comfort.
- The spacers under the seat are 20 mm high in this prototype.
- As you can see in the pictures, you can also bend the rear legs and thus slightly increase the seat angle and the leaning angle.
- More construction details can be seen in these pictures:
