NEW STANDARDS DERIVED FROM NATURE
The sizes and forms of furniture are generally determined according to the physical measurements of a person, the scope of their movement, and the objects it must contain. These standards, derived from ergonomic and rational calculations, have become paradigmatic measurements for designers and therefore the agreed norm.
