Spanish term or phrase: esterilla francesa
This is a reference to the material used for the seat of the Thonet chair:

Trabajamos ese límite a partir de una reiterpretación la esterilla francesa, conocida como parte fundamental de las sillas Thonet.

I know what they are talking about, have seen images on the internet, but I am not sure what it is called in English.
Thanks

It seems that some of the Thonet chairs are referred to as "wicker":

Reference information:
I am not 100% sure, but in my country we call it "cane seating" which interestingly, most of this type of work is done by the blind at our Salvation Army.
