An examination at the floor edge shows the light colored outer surface sitting several inches proud, about 3/4″ wide, w/ a 2″ gap to the next rib.

 

No idea on the construction or materials.

Yes, I noticed it also, but that man can not sit on ribs. So how it starts like rib from the floor and becomes a flat (smooth) surface to sit at a certain point?

It looks to me like he is sitting on ribs.

Here is the full sized image. I don’t see any transition from ribs to filled in.

Nice work, have they used curved pieces of wood?!

Looks like plastic, maybe recycled soda bottles.

It might be 3D print plastic pieces, with wood would be very expensive and time consuming.
