Four Important Design Points of Ergonomic Chairs

Designers need to pay attention to four points when designing ergonomic chairs. Only by taking all four points into consideration can a perfect ergonomic chair be designed.

Ergonomic Chair Curve Design

Analyze the design principles of chairs from the perspective of human health, and define the shape curve design of chairs according to human physiological conditions and fatigue measurements. The curve of the chair mainly depends on whether the curve of the cushion and the backrest conform to the physiological curve of the person.

There are two main views on the backrest: one is that there is no backrest, and people naturally keep the back upright to reduce the pressure on the back, but this view is not very popular because it is impossible to maintain an upright position for a long time. The second is that it is now generally believed that back-to-back support is required. Nowadays, people no longer sit upright on chairs, but take various postures. The backrest will give them a chance to rest and relax their psoas muscles, but the real relaxation still depends on whether the curve design of the chair back is reasonable.

Ergonomic Chair Size Design

The specific dimensions of the chair design, according to its different functions, according to the anthropometric data and the standards promulgated by the state, are continuously tested at high speed, and the values are selected reasonably to meet the requirements of scientific design.

Determining the proper furniture proportions is the first and extremely important step in crafting ergonomic furniture for most designers and manufacturers. Because the determination of the length, width, and height of the furniture and the spatial relationship formed by the placement of the furniture are inseparable from the human body scale and its measurement data. Designers should be good at using the existing authoritative data, according to the actual situation, on the basis of the existing data, use it flexibly, make appropriate modifications and adjustments, and truly design ergonomic furniture with heart.

Everything in the world is not static, it will evolve and change. Therefore, measurement data also change with time and social culture. Therefore, if you do not understand the rational use of data, do not understand the nature of the use of ergonomic data, and use it mechanically, it will only be counterproductive.

Ergonomic Chair Aesthetic Design

The functional beauty and formal beauty of the chair should be combined, and attention should be paid to the different psychological emotions brought about by different environments, so as to achieve the satisfaction of psychological ergonomics.

The product of ergonomics is not a product of people's traditional imagination. With the advancement of science and technology and the rapid development of industrial design, ergonomic products have become practical works of art with both practical and artistic value. As a part of aesthetics, practical art is closely related to ergonomics, because practical art is most closely related to people's daily life, such as clothing, food, and use. It is to serve people's needs directly.

On the one hand, applied art is not only the object of ergonomics research, but also the medium of its value transformation. When it comes to ergonomics, there is no applied art, and the results of research are only on paper. For applied art, if no ergonomic research is carried out, the practical value and aesthetic value of the artwork will be greatly reduced. Therefore, only when the two are fully combined will they complement each other.

Ergonomic Chair Detail Design

Famous foreign designers attach great importance to the details of the chair, that is, the "millimeter effect". In their view, a difference of a few millimeters can give a chair a different level of comfort. We can see that the value of the data is often within a range, if the value is random and there is an error. Then the size of the chair finally designed may be unexpected, which is why the masters keep improving in the selection and testing of data.

In addition, they are meticulous about the use of chair connectors, from the connection form to the selection of the connection position, and even the selection of small screws. The chair is a whole, and the connector is an indispensable and important part. It is also an important part of the structure of the chair, and a good part will also bring a different feeling to the chair.

Therefore, the pursuit of details is also the key to the success or failure of ergonomic furniture.
