Quote - Latest model/freebie, available soon.  This is a chair that was made by request, and I'm quite happy with the results so far.  I call it the Sweet Heart Chair (for obvious reasons), and was designed to compliment my bag chair, for the upcoming Valentine's Day holiday.  It's design was inspired by the Danish highback Lobster Chair by Lund & Paarmann, and classic Eames Lounge Chair by the Herman Miller furniture company.  I was originally going to create a footrest ottoman to accompany it (ala the Eames), but it's not likely now, as I'm pressed for time, and would like to release this object no later than tomorrow evening.  I'm moving forward to the unwrapping and texturing stage, unless I spot problems in the mesh, which I don't think will happen, or I decide to make last-minute topology changes; again unlikely, but something I almost always find myself doing.

Crits and comments welcome, as always.  The object is currently comprised of two sub-components; the cushion and the base, and weighs a modest 15,200 total polygons, all quads.  Both elements of the object started life as simple 8x8 grid planes originally (not boxes).  Done with polygonal subD modeling techniques, and a few modifier tricks, to get the "pouf" look to the cushion.  Roughly 3 hours modeling time, and probably about that long for the unwrapping and texturing, I would imagine.  Hope you like it.

Cool chair.  That's quad heaven right there.  Perfect topo.
