Claim:
A chair having a seat and a backrest, the chair comprising: a first plurality of slat-like members disposed in spaced vertical planes and having top, bottom, right and left edges and front and rear faces, wherein these slat-like members are generally parallel to each other, and wherein all first pluralty left edges are defined as surfaces perpendicular to the planes of all first plurality slat-like members and all first plurality rear faces are defined as surfaces parallel to the planes of all first plurality slat-like members; a second plurality of slat-like members disposed in spaced vertical planes and having top, bottom, right and left edges and front and rear faces, wherein these slat-like members are generally parallel to each other and to the first plurality, and wherein all second plurality right edges are defined as surfaces perpendicular to the planes of all second plurality slat-like members and all second plurality front faces are defined as surfaces parallel to the planes of all second plurality slat-like members; a third plurality of slat-like members dispose in spaced vertical planes and having top, bottom, front and rear edges and right and left faces, wherein these slat-like members are generally parallel to each other, but are generally perpendicular to the first and second pluralities, and wherein all third plurality front and rear edges are defined as surfaces perpendicular to the planes of all third plurality slat-like members and all third plurality right and left faces are defined as surfaces parallel to the planes of all third plurality slat-like members; wherein the third plurality of slat-like members are situated between the first and second pluralities of slat-like members such that left edges of first plurality slat-like members flushly abut right faces of third plurality slat-like members, and right edges of second plurality slat-like members flushly abut left faces of third plurality slat-like members; and wherein the composite of top edges of all first plurality slat-like members define a portion of the seat surface, the composite of top edges of all second plurality slat-like members define portions of the seat and backrest surfaces, and the composite of top edges of all third plurality slat-like members define portions of the seat and backrest surfaces.
