No no, what I meant was:

I've been modelling like mad for the past several weeks in preparation for a short film. When I first saw the chair I was thinking NURBS (which I am horrible at); subD was my next choice, which Poser doesn't directly support; then there's the issue of the tessellating into a poly surface and the final mesh density. I rarely use polys unless I'm doing something "box-like", house interiors, etc. Furthermore, I hadn't decided what base object to start from and / or how to massage - say, a box - into that very fluid shape shown above.
