Abstract
A seat frame is manufactured from a single continuous elongated member or which has the appearance of being formed from a single continuous elongated piece of material. For example, the seat frame may be formed from a single continuous elongated member such as a tube or wire which is bent or twisted into shape. Alternatively, a plurality of elongated members generally having similar cross-sections may be used to form the seat frame, which has the appearance of one-piece construction. The back may be integral with the seat frame thereby not requiring additional back support material. Further, the back may represent an abstract or a recognizable object.
