Designers Don Chadwick and Bill Stumpf began their design process with no assumptions but with strong convictions on what the chair ought to do for a person.
Ergonomically, it ought to do more than just sit there. It should actively intercede for the health of the person who sits in it longer than she should.
Functionally, it ought to move and adjust as simply and naturally as possible. It should support a person in any position he cares to assume, at any task his office job serves up.
Anthropometrically, it ought to be more inclusive than its predecessors. It should do more than accommodate small or large people; it should really fit them.
Enviromentally, it ought to be benign. It should be sparing of natural resources, durable and repairable, designed for disassembly and recycling. |
