The last thing you've done part two  

Nice!
Looks good Brent.
I just tried my hand at a little upholstery for the first time this year.

.
oh thats just staple gun stuff, thats not upholstery 🙂
Kidding, but did you mold the chair back? How? More info please you tease.

Busted...
Yes, it's true, the prototype is stapled. I did use fabric for a change though...
Yes, I moulded the back. For this prototype I built a male form and clamped multiple layers of bending ply to it. Here is another pic for you Heath.

nice, spd!
Staple gun stuff IS upholstery. So there.
OK, so remember last fall I posted pics of the horribly decrepit Vincent Cafiero executive office chair produced by Knoll? It was wool hopsack with black vinyl (not leather) on the arms, mildewed, mended with duct tape (and not even black duct tape) and the latex foam was dry and crunchy.
Well, I finally redid it this past week and boy are my arms tired. This is Knoll "Classic Boucle" fabric in the "Neutral" color, I think--same as chino pants though it looks whiter here. I splurged and got latex foam for it so it's really comfortable. I love it but I have no need and even less room for a chair of this sort so I will be selling it. But I certainly will enjoy it for a little bit.

Once you've done about 300...
Once you've done about 300 office chairs it doesn't feel much like a skill anymore...

Not bad at all, spanky.
How much do you charge for a 3-seat sofa?

thanks, tktoo
I no longer do anything that I can't heft myself, which kinda limits me to chairs and smaller. (Except I do have to redo my own sofa sometime, I guess.)

Again, interesting, Shaun.
You've got a lot of confidence in those trestle feet, don't you?
I haven't seen them used much since the Conoids.
Not as nuts about this one, though. Maybe it's the angles in the pics.

I'm only half kidding, spanky.
I'm willing to negotiate.

I couldn't let George have all the Trestle fun...
The foot has a mechanical joint locking it to the leg, it's not just relying on glue strength. I'm not totally sure about this chair either, It's a first prototype that I barely finished the day before a design show I was exhibiting in.
I'm interested to see where, if anywhere, this design can go.

How it is
for comfort, spd ?
I like that the feet are not parallel . . . or maybe they are. Nice looking little animal -- a bird, perhaps ?
It could be argued that, for the mechanical aspect of the bridle joint to come into play, the glue first has to fail. Still, one likes the assurance of that time-honored fitted joint. I'd be happier with a bit more glue surface.

There are a bunch of Conoid chairs
at the Met available for visitors to use in a reading room. They've seen some serious use. I have no idea how old they are, but I believe they are from the early '70's, and the joints are as rock-solid as the day they left the shop.
spd, the seats look a bit short for my dimensions (long femurs), but I'd still like to see a group of them around a small casual dining table. You may be on to something that could compete in the limited-production market. Have given it a name?

And the name is...
SDR guessed it...the "bird" chair, as it does seem to resemble a small bird. The feet are indeed splayed, it definitely looks as if it's standing there.
The chair is extremely comfortable, I spend a lot of time on ergonomics with my pieces and I've come up with some useful numbers I can use as a starting point for any new design. The seat depth is 17", would that work for you tktoo? I'm 6' and it fits me quite well. I may build some for my house one of these days and get rid of the plethora of 2x prototypes. I've got a commission for a round oak dining table, perhaps I can get some chairs built and snap a photo.

Nice chair spd
It looks really comfortable in a wrap around and supportive kind of way. I've got some Kai Kristiansen chairs with that same feel and it's open enough to not smother your back. Very nice. Any more views of it?
