"When design springs from an understanding of the
people who are going to use a product, you begin to see forms that
you would never have imagined." - Niels Diffrient
One of the century's preeminent designers, Niels Diffrient has endeavored
throughout his storied career to emphasize the "human factors"
of industrial design, using ingenuity and intuition to bring consumers
products that meet their needs.
From his early work with Eero Saarinen and Marco Zanuzo to the present,
Diffrient's integrity and vision have been recognized in dozens of
awards and honorary citations, and he has served as designer or consultant
to the Fortune 500's leading companies. His quest to create workplace
environments fitted to the needs of their users continues unabated
with "Freedom chair," a task chair that conforms to its
user's shape without an array of knobs and levers.

| High-tech Cushions: |
|
The cushions on Freedom are as unique as the rest of the chair.
Molded, not upholstered, they are sculpted to closely follow body contours,
which increases contact area and decreases concentrated loads.
