In Rethinking the Way we Sit Down, Niels Diffrient talks about how his love of planes lead him to learning the technical aspects of the plane. This eventually lead him to art and the aesthetics of the plane, to designing specific interiors such as chairs. I think many of us learn this way as well, where learning one thing leads to learning another thing. Niels talks about many approaches he takes in design, one of the aspects being to design something around the person. I agree that designs around the person is a great approach to designing anything. I agre that adjustments can be made in a variety of ways and factors for a products such as a chair, such as form, positioning of levers, shape of headrest and cushions, and the height.
