Nope.although I've seen that chair.  Kurt had one at TDs a couple years ago.
You are right about the engineering..sweet. But for me, it was harder to get 
out of that chair than to get off the ground!  <g>  Hub's is a little aluminum number
by coleman from uncle wally.  I may be wrong about the weight.  It won't
fit on my kitchen scale and besides, I don't carry it <g>.  There was a guy
on rec.backcountry a while back that was working to integrate a stool into
an external frame pack, but I don't know if anything ever came of it....
There was also  a NOBOer a couple years ago that carried two chairs for awhile. 
I guess she liked company <g>.
Well kiddies....Hub is finally awake and the sun is out.....we are outta here.
Have a good one!
