This is my refined model. I reduced the height of the backrest to accomodate to the size of the sheet of xanita which worked out well actually as I don’t want the back rest to be too inviting so that people want to lean back in the chair as it is not one for relaxation. I also reduced the amount of material at the back which i think works quite nicely too as you get some nice shapes coming through from the side tabs. I have maintained the 3 step curve for the seat etc as I think it ties in well with the rest of the geometric folds of the chair however I will look further into how to achieve a curve without tearing the material. I cut small holes from the corners where the seat, front and side panels meet to reduce the stress but there was still some tearing. The side tab measurements are right as they tuck in nicely one it is all locke together.
I also need to lock the back together to restrict any movement sideways. I will do this discretely inside the unit so that it is not visible. Overall, I am happy with the shape, proportions and form.
