-the_solution-

i made a test with the 3mm leather to see if it would take bending over multiple angles and miter joints. it held for the initial test, but i'll set it in a bent position over a longer period of time.





as discussed in the last review, i tested out the idea of hanging the chair to the wall give it the additional support it needs. this worked out quite well, but i am really not that keen on the idea of requiring a wall-mounted plate to support what the chair structually can't handle.





after testing wall mount it was clear that it could be a solution, but i still wanted an better, more fitting fix than one which required drilling holes in the wall. a simple way was to join the backrest with the seat (the point where the most instability was at this point) and see where it goes from there. at first i just joined the backrest and seat with a triangle which ran parallel to the wall. surprisingly this was all it needed to hold. however, to be more true to the form i adjusted the new triangle's position to flow into the wall more, like the backrest. this not only solved the stability of the chair, but did it in a way which doesn't require drilling, gives adequate support and improved comfort to the chair.
