Niels Diffrient: Rethinking the way we sit down

Niels Diffrient was a man who grew up always loving airplanes. His passion is what eventually drove him to design the "perfect chair."  This extraordinary design allows for a person of almost any size and weight to sit comfortably. Obviously it is impossible to accommodate, but as Niels Dieffrient states, "not many people adjust their chairs." Removing the levers and nobs for easy use of the chair using only the force needed to recline is a great trade off in my opinion. This chair design promises great comfort as well as ease of use which is a factor that not many chair designs can offer. I'd rather buy a chair that all I had to do was lean back rather that read a 20-page manual trying to figure out levers and buttons.
