Barry, Modernica strengthened the legs by increasing the number of ply-layers making the legs slightly thicker. My chair had the previous style legs and I recently needed to have them replaced. I gave the chair a through going over at the upholstery shop during the repair. The interior of the chair is pretty much what you would expect from a custom piece of furniture. It is constructed by hand and the amount of labor is staggering. The sides are sandwiched plywood with solid wood cross pieces. The seat consists of a couple of layers of open upholstery stuffing which rests on elastic bands similar in appearance to the Risom lounge only they have a bit of bounce in them. Even the back of the chair receives a layer of baffle and an interior cloth backing. They did not cut any corners in the manufacture of this chair. I had an occasion to speak with one of the owners on the telephone when I ordered new legs and he mentioned that the chair was intricate and time consuming to produce. I mistakenly and naively thought he was justifying the price. Having had a peak backstage I am confident that the price of the chair is directly proportional to the work required to make it.
