about 40 years back, my dad saw woven leather chairs in a store and decided to replicate them himself. a DIY-er at heart, he got all of the supplies, and went to work...for years he made bar stools and kitchen chairs for everyone: family, friends, random people on the street, it didn't really matter who they were, if he knew them they were gonna get some chairs. my mom still uses them as her dining room chairs and bar stools, and I have two of the shorter stools in my kitchen.
I have never seen anything that even closely resembles this woven chair style, until last weekend, I saw them TWICE in one trip. apparently, they're mexican inspired and loved by San Franciscans, both sightings were at taquerias in San Fran. way to go dad, your hand made goods are still cutting edge.
