Abstract

A methodology for evaluating a single chair, rather than making a comparison among chairs, was developed from previous chair studies. The methodology was found to be rapid and effective when applied to a prototype chair, giving information to the manufacturer on overall comfort and good and bad points in the design. Testing took place on three tasks and showed that chair comfort is influenced by the task as well as the chair.
