Abstract
A chair is formed from two side frame sections each including a tubular frame and leg assembly with expanded metal secured to it. The side sections are encapsulated in foam which adheres to and completely encompasses the expanded metal. A seat cushion and foamed front skirt are added to the foamed side frame sections. A flat skirt is provided to completely follow the periphery of the chair just above the floor; and two chairs may be joined at any desired orientation relative to each other by a doubly-grooved joinder member coupling the lower peripheral metal skirts together.
