I'll have to return to this with another picture, but in the meantime, a note:
The sling seems to have been adapted at a later date. There are straps on the back as if to support a cushion. I'll add a picture later.
Also, I agree about the leg. It seems like a strange design decision. Also, the construction seems odd to me. The way the two legs intersect seems awkward.
Yes -- one wonders at first if it isn't sideways or upside down ! But it is an interesting design. The cross lap at center is potentially a very strong connection; if the bents have good splines or tenons, the piece should be quite sturdy -- and adventuresome at the same time. One could call it the Double Boomerang Chair . . .
Sometimes we see a design and want to take it as a starting point. I always strive for some kind of arm, so it would be fun to see if that could happen too.
