Chairs Aren’t Designed For Humans

How we design things matters. We need to create with real people in mind.

Creating for the average person is a problem.

But most scalable products or services do so. They assume an average, middle of the run user — which no actual person is.

It’s ignorant to think of someone that way!

99% of chairs are obviously not designed for humans to sit on, but are designed to be the most easily stacked.

This is a huge problem, and no one is working on it at the level it needs work.

What does it mean? For now turn to the chair craftsman down the street who can make you a chair that actually fits you.

Go local. Work with people who take the time and effort to understand you.

By doing this you’re actually shifting a culture — by putting your money into products and services that value actual humans, you turn the culture around you into one that values actual humans.
