Concept Stellar Chair

I've been thinking about making my own stellar chair lately, looking at the designs available on the net, when I remembered a wine rack design I had seen recently. It got me thinking that it might just work for a chair too. So I whipped up this thing in Cinema4D. The back rest would slot into the base & the seat would slot into the variable height holes. It would pull apart easily into 3 or 4 parts (depending on if you wanted to remove the base support for transport). Maybe even a bag with shoulder strap for carrying, like a camp chair.
There's a lot of if's involved. Would the back rest be strong enough to take the weight, especially with the series of hole cut into it. Would the seat be stable with just the 2 side bars to stop it rotating. Another thought was to make the under seat rod square and the holes square so no side rods would be necessary.
Just thought I might get some opinions before I attempt to make a prototype.
