The impact of anthropometrics on the functional design of office furniture

Abstract EN

The science of anthropology is concerned with the biological, cultural, and social diversity of people.

Man is viewed as a biological and social being with the unique power to create and build culture.

Human biology and culture make up the first two axes of anthropology, time makes up the third.

It is necessary to define anthropology as a separate field.

It is the field of science that investigates how human beings produce things.

Anthropology seeks to comprehend man by investigating a wide range of scientific issues that are related to one another and linked by a common science.

Anthropometrics is the study of body proportions and other physical attributes.

It is concerned with information concerning the size and shape of the human body and is used in industrial design, garment design, ergonomics, and architecture.

Anthropometric data is displayed inside a design table demonstrating the average measures of the human figure, affected by ergonomic tools for the human shape, and used to explain the user or target scope of the design.

The research aims to assess the office furniture using anthropometric factors of the sitting posture.

And the use of data collection and anthropometric measurements of the sitting position, the study of areas of discomfort, and the study of postural deficiencies, particularly in office furniture, make it essential for the furniture to have an ergonomic design and ergonomic compatibility in size.

Body discomfort was assessed using anthropometric factors.

Little attention has been paid to ergonomic concerns in their contact with users, particularly about office furniture, making it critical that the furniture has an ergonomic design and an appropriate size.
