From the beginning of the 1750s, the chairs are mainly made of solid wood and rattan products ; In the 1820s, soft bale, polyester fabric, laminating techniques were added; The 1950s the rudiment of modern office chair began to be showed, aluminum alloy bracket, seat back separation,and also obvious armrest support characteristics. In the later period, the famous furniture designers, Mr. And Mrs. EAMES, introduced the design of all-aluminum alloy support. They abandoned the sponge support, so that the seat lost the function of rebound, and added the screw lift structure, and the appearance of the seat was combined with the architectural design.
In the 1870s, the frame of office chair was basically finalized, mainly including armrest, five-star base, mechanism, lumbar support, lifting adjustment and other functional elements. In the middle period, Swiss brand Virta put forward the concept of waist independent support and created the technology that sponge can be directly foamed to the fabric itself. From then on, the technology of molded foam began to be applied. In the 1880s, the German company WILKHAN was the first to develop a mechanism with adjustable functions, and also introduced the concept of separation of seat back movement. At the same time, HermanMiller proposed a four-point linkage chassis movement mechanism, which is also the predecessor of the classic AERON CHAIR mechanism movement principle in the future. The back is also innovatively designed with flexible materials.
In the interim, HermanMiller came up with a new concept of mesh seat support, adjustable seating areas, and a new upgrade of the mechanism features, replacing the original spring mechanism with a new rubber damping mechanism. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the design of office chair mainly focuses on three points, 1, appearance 2, human comfort (each part can be adjusted to fit) 3, chassis linkage mechanism (new activity linkage method).
In 2009, HermanMiller company created a chair supported by a full skeleton, which should be the most comfortable office chair in the world. Besides, EMBODY is separated into separate sections that could linkage and be in adaptation. At the same time, German WILKHAN proposed the concept of swing type, the back and seat can be independently swing through the mechanism structure. In 2014, Steelcase introduced full armrest adjustable form functional seats to meet the needs of modern mobile and mobile office.
Since the 1990s, office furniture products have been developed rapidly, mainly including office chair, desk, file cabinet, system furniture (such as screen, desk screen system, accessories, etc.) and storage cabinets. Office chair is always in the dominant position of office furniture both in China and abroad, China’s office chair market share of about 31% of the entire office furniture market.
As more and more office workers in China pay attention to their health, the market demand for comfortable office chairs continues to increase, and China’s office chair industry has developed rapidly in recent years.
For office workers, the office chair is the first partner to accompany them through the long working hours. A comfortable office chair can give them physical and psychological comfort. With the continuous popularization of ergonomics in office furniture design, the design of office chair will also show more humanistic care in the future, such as more comfortable in design scale, more diverse in function, more beautiful products and more flexible components.
