This project is an exploration of anthropometrics and how anthropometric information is used to inform design. Here, a full human scale chair was designed and built using found materials including industrial foam insulation board and mailing tubes. This general purpose chair can accommodate 95% of the general population due to its clearance factor (seat width and height). Intended for brief periods of use, the chair design provides a relaxed sitting posture with optimum support and provision for the lumbar region and the buttock area. This is achieved through a contoured design that accounts for anthropometric data, along with subtraction and addition construction techniques. Moreover, this chair can support the weight of an adult female for more than 30 seconds.
