Niels Diffrient - Rethinking the way we sit down



Neils Diffrient lived for 25 years in Italy and America. His passion for planes started at the age of 6, he built model planes. As in college he took aerospace engineering as his major but instead he learnt maths and no drawing at all,soon he lost his passion for making planes and switched to art. There he studied painting, design, architecture and eventually became a Designer but business didn't go well and then he chose furniture especially office chairs - it was the product shaped by the human body and in order to do that he needed to learn about how to deal with body. After business ups and downs he designed a chair - a chair that balance your weight with no adjustment needed, with arm rest - move them up or down as you want. and head rest. In my opinion, his officer chair idea is amazing, so much so that I want to have these kinds of chairs that he designed because not everyone has the talent to do something amazing.
