Here’s more information from the designer:

Introducing a new stacking chair by Victor Vetterlein called X-Federation. A combination of materials and layout provide the necessary structural support for the thin profile design. X-Federation is composed of laminated wood combined with carbon fiber fabric – a material strengthening technique used in boat building and further developed in the skateboard industry.

In regards to layout, the front legs are perpendicular to the rear legs to increase lateral stability. The design includes a thin steel frame under the seat where the legs are mechanically fastened. An optional arm rest is available that fastens to the back and sides of the chair. The X-Federation Elite Class chair comes with a solid brass armrest and leg sleeves.
