ah ah, thank you very much you fellow mapcoreans! 
SpicyTanuki, nope that other normal map, is called a detail normal map. it goes in the shader as a tillable normal map.
Nysuatro, actually, that's what I was trying to avoid, making another post-apocalyptic chair, with "gamey" style, know what I mean? I wanted to do something that looks real, something that you could have on your own apartment, something kinda new but with some use.
just to tell you. i think you achieved excactly what you wanted.
this is my favorite piece from you so far - very cool ! 
Was browsing through the chairs posted so far a couple of days ago, this is easily better than the ones i saw then.
That's the best damn looking chair ever made digitally, if that chair were a woman I'd sex her up 
Thanks dudes! 
Unfortunately I didn't even got third, but it was a very good practice run making something like this for a change.

Mostly because you didn't really followed the concept to closely, you would've got better chances if you made that actuall chair, not just a chair
lol is that what you say to the concept artists at crytek
It's not business, its fun. So why stick to rules you don't like when not giving a shit about winning a prize?
Wow someone has their serious face on.
Ya, pretty pretty isn't it? 
I am not sure the unique detail added justifies the use of three time as much texture space. But other than that the design whereas some generic feels well executed and the final result looks the bomb.
Not your best thing here, but still pretty good. I think both the high point and the low point comes on the plating - the yellow worn look is great and stands out over the rest of the texture, but the thread plating seems strange being a completely different color. Seems like those should all be the same color, with the top of each thread receiving a bit of the worn look, maybe even a bit more of a "polished" look with a lighter color and increased spec on the top where it's been worn down.
Thank you very much for all the feedback guys, much appreciated and dully noted.
Some stuff I'm doing for the Eclipse mod, I'm helping those guys out with some of the modelling!

cheers
looks good but i think the concept looks more like hexagons when circles. also it seems as if some of the left sided details have a perspective in there (assuming this is for a bake i'd go with a orthogonal projection)
also: Is this all floating geometry or how did you go about these lots of small holes?
The small gaps need to be fatter, some more hard edges too.
And what was said about the circles.
people draw concept art of textures now?
