The present application is directed to a chair assembly comprising a frame member and one or more textile members disposed across the frame member. The frame member is operationally configured to releasably secure different parts of the one or more textile members in a manner effective for the one or more textile members to form a support surface in the form of a seat and back of the chair assembly.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A chair assembly comprising:
 a frame member; and   a textile member;   the frame member having a first fastening assembly for releasable securement of part of the textile member and a second fastening assembly for releasable securement of a different part of the textile member; the first and second fastening assemblies securing the textile member in a manner effective to provide a seat and back of the chair assembly.   
     
     
         2 . The chair assembly of  claim 1  wherein the first and second fastening assemblies each provide tongue and groove joints operationally configured to secure the textile member in a fixed position there through. 
     
     
         3 . The chair assembly of  claim 1  wherein the frame member includes a seat frame assembly and a back frame assembly pivotally connected to the seat frame assembly, wherein the configuration of the seat frame assembly is operationally configured to dictate the angle of the back frame assembly during use of the chair assembly. 
     
     
         4 . The chair assembly of  claim 1  wherein the frame member defines an open empty space within the frame member, the textile member being disposed in the open empty space for providing the seat and back. 
     
     
         5 . A chair assembly comprising a frame member and a textile member disposed across the frame member; the frame member being operationally configured to releasably sandwich different parts of the textile member in a manner effective for the textile member to form a seat and back of the chair assembly. 
     
     
         6 . The chair assembly of  claim 5  wherein the frame member includes a first assembly for sandwiching the textile member in a manner effective to form a front edge of the seat. 
     
     
         7 . The chair assembly of  claim 6  wherein the frame member includes a second assembly for sandwiching the textile member in a manner effective to form a top edge of the back. 
     
     
         8 . A chair assembly comprising:
 a frame member; and   a textile member;   wherein the frame member includes tongue and groove assemblies for securing different parts of the textile member in a fixed position in a manner effective for the textile member to form a support surface of the chair assembly.   
     
     
         9 . The chair assembly of  claim 8  wherein the frame member defines an open empty space within the frame member, the textile member being disposed in the open empty space for providing the support surface.
