I have tried playing around with small scale models to come up with some possible design ideas that both complement the thin tubular shape in aesthetics and structural properties.
With this i would have it on a much larger scale and have a woven top as the seat panel, the only problem with this is that the "cells" are only of a certain length so spreading them out will loose considerable height over all.
This is similar but has a back section, again this would have some weaving to add strength.
These two forms look interesting but there are many complications with them as fixing them together would be very messy looking and structurally not that sound.
For this piece i would create a cone form to then use to lay the "cells" on and then layer for height and then the top piece would be reversed for the seat.
This collection was taken from one of my original tables, i like the form shape and aesthetics of many small tubes as well as it being structurally sound.
This is similar to the one above but the tubes are on there side which creates something simular but i do not thing that the sides will be quite as solid and could collaps. so due to this i will try out some other methods of rolling paper and see if i can get a stronger tube.
