From your first picture, they look like just lengths of wire that should be bent into circles around the parts that are joined together. The seat manufacturer would have a special tool designed to fold them round. Without the tool, you'd need to fold them round with long nose pliers or something similar.

I never saw those, maybe they are only present in the leader upholstery?

I even washed it in the automatic machine for a couple of minutes.
