Rethinking the way we sit down

Niel was always meant to be a designer, he just didn't know it at first I think. His "romance" started with airplanes but was later on convinced to get into art and design. Once he got into designing he came up with a new way to design computer chairs. You can really tell how intelligent and passionate he is about his work when listening to him talk. The fact that it took him nine years to design one product is incredible to me. I really like the fact that when he took on this project of designing a chair he also took into consideration how a person's body works. He didn't just start designing the chair so that it would look good to the costumer's eye. He did his research about how your body should be positioned when sitting and what is good and bad for it. It really shows how important design is and how much thought should be put into it. I also like that he observed people in every day settings to see their habits and what they do when sitting in the office in a chair. He realized that most people did not bother adjusting the chair how it should be or did not know how to. All of these things played such a big role in his design and I think it is brilliant.
