Metal legs are inserted into the underframe, which is part of the chair's shell.

Here's some text from the designers:

--

The Lockheed Chair takes its inspiration in one of the 21st century design icon: the Ray & Charles Eames DSW.

With an aggressive design and a strong identity, it seduces thanks to its overall harmony that emerges, despite the existent contrast between inner curvy shape and the outside geometry.
