About the project

The backrest is wrapped in rope along its whole length, and the sides are strung in a crossing pattern between the top rail and the seat frame. Each strand is real geometry, which is what makes the chair read correctly from close up.

Rope is the hardest material to optimize because there is so much of it. The final file keeps every visible strand and still comes in at under 1 MB, about 91% smaller than the source.
