You can create it directly in FCAD, in detail.

What do you have to start to model, only this photo?

I actually have one in my garden right now, so I can use that for measurements. But, no idea how to approach this project since I am still a novice

... a simple way to model such a chair with a hyperbola in sketcher.
No tests, hoping hyperbola's curvature-circle fits anybody's bottom.

... with some additional finetuning and design effort you get your stackable garden chair
- at all an interesting design task.
Or spend some 25 Euro for a China product.
