Homework #2 "Niels Diffrient rethinks the way we sit at work"

(I kept being dragged into another video completely off topic. But, I watched the video finally after finding it.)

"Design legend Niels Diffrient talks about his life in industrial design (and the reason he became a designer instead of a jet pilot). He details his quest to completely rethink the office chair starting from one fundamental data set: the human body. "- https://www.ted.com/talks/niels_diffrient_rethinks_the_way_we_sit_at_work

The TED Talk video talks about a creator, Niels Diffrient, who experienced the struggles of having a goal in a career. Niels is the creator of the Freedom and Liberty Chairs. His career had originally been designing airplanes, not chairs. The idea of his chair has changed many lives throughout modern work times, it has been beneficial for those who struggle with being comfortable while working, for those who can't sit properly in regular chairs, and is great for it's ergonomic structure. I feel as if this career choice was best for him, rather than working for planes and jets, only because he probably would have made things too comfortable for people and... Yeah.


Ergonomic- relating to or designed for efficiency and comfort in the working environment.
