Hello gentlemen, I’m calling upon the gods of modeling.
I’m challenging myself to model the DC10 chair by Miyasaki.
I’m struggling to achieve a clean junction (at least G1) between these parts (and of course, without using Xnurbs).
Any ideas on how to approach this?
I’ve tested quite a few things, but I feel like I’m not using the right method.

Thank you for your help.
Good reference photos, also one from underneath. The seat “pan” is concave all around the side and back, not bulging upwards like in your model. I remember the launch in Milan, probably over a decade ago.
The front part of the rear legs is a very straightforward patch layout. I would say, a trimmed Sweep2 matched G2 from leg to seat “pan”, then trimmed left and right. Front legs are very similar. You need the upper seat pan rim first of all, and the transition from concave to subtly convex at the front seat pan lip. For the bottom part, the single photo from below doesn’t fully reveal the entire formal aesthetic solution. Maybe there are some more to be found online, from the rear and below.
Hi Jeremy, thank you for your fast response, I will correct this shape asap. I hope this will help with the blending.
Best regards
Thank you very much, I will iterate on that right now.
Hello again,
I’m still stuck on this point and would really appreciate any guidance.
What would you recommend as the best approach for blending here? The diagram showed here, brings a problem because it doesn’t “touch” the egdes of the existing blends between pan and the edges of the feet (blue).

Here is my model so far (3dm attached)
Thanks a lot for your time and support!
I might have some time on the weekend to look at it in more detail.
Alright thank you very much.
