The aim of this project is to develop an auxiliary office chair, which favorably will compete with
the existing chairs on the market. Evolutions of ergonomical survey in the work environment and
on the configuration of offices require new products which fulfill the requirements properly.
In order to achieve it a survey about office chairs has been carried out: types, characteristics, ways
of usage and products on the market besides a large antropometrical study and ergonomics related
to work area study.
The result is an auxillary office chair which improves significatively in ergonomics compared with
such chairs found in the market survey.
Moreover it is achieved a great improvement refering to apilability stackable characteristics and
manufacturing, as this chair has good features as easily cleanning and innovative aesthetics and no
high manufacturing cost. That means an easily marketed product.
