Quote - Fair enough, It does look slightly fat atm. What happens on the ref image?

I haven't found any reference images of a Cappellini S Chair with an interwoven surface, and this may be the reason why.  It was a novel idea I was going to try, because I felt the result would have looked impressive.  There was one photo out there of the chair done in  some kind of burlap-like "wrappings" that appear interwoven at first glance, but really aren't.  There's plenty of true woven chairs out there, but most of them are constructed from simple planar surfaces, or surfaces with a mathematically simple curvature, which would make it a much easier process.

Unless there's something obvious I'm missing here, the only real solution I can think of is to start over, and this time use many more, and far thinner tubes or vertical splines.  My process was flawed from the start really; I'll need to create the diameter of the tubes by first measuring the narrowest part of the chair's surface, and start laying out the weave based on the diameter, and number of verticle tubes I'll need to comfortably cover that surface area.
