This looks very cool. I like the copper but as already mentioned it may be a little too weak for chairs. I think your idea of the stainless steel would be cool. Not sure about painting it copper, I have never tried to paint stainless steel but I would like to see how it turns out when you make one. It reminds me of a chair made of pvc pipes but I like the metals better. More of an industrial feel to them. Thanks for sharing you did a great job rendering this one.

Thanks a lot for your comment :) painting copper might be hard as you don't get the same kind of natural reflections. Maybe it doesn't have to be copper, it might look good in chrome ?
I found something that might give you some ideas on painting the copper over stainless steel. Here's a link to one way to do it. http://homeguides.sfgate.com/make-stainless-steel-look-like-copper-bronze-76946.html
Hope that helps.
Thanks a lot that is very nice of you :) This is definitely something I will read up on :)
You're welcome. Keep up the great work. :)
Hmmm. I'm not sure about that one. I would have to research that. Chrome would be ok but it reminds me of the 70's style a little. It is sleek and polished looking in chrome but don't think that is the look you are going for. I like the idea of the copper just not sure how to paint it over stainless steel to make it last. But if you like the look of chrome then I say go for it, I'm sure it will look awesome whichever way you decide to go with it.
