Article critique #2

Vlaović, Zoran, et al. “Comfort Evaluation as the Example of Anthropotechnical Furniture Design.”

The purpose of the article was intended to portray the weight of the issue based on the comfort and discomfort of desk chairs. In order to find true answers, the authors conducted a study that tested multiple different chairs that had different size seats. The purpose of the study was to determine if size and composition of the seat would change comfort levels of individuals that spend large amounts of time sitting in them per day.

One thing I really loved about the article was how descriptive it was. It really looked deep into things that I never really thought about as an issue. I had never placed seat cushion size and shape as something that I would use as a determining factor to comfort over a long period of time, but I guess it does make a lot of sense. I felt like the diagrams really help a lot too in understanding all of the information really well! Overall, I thought the article was very informative and portrayed the information in a really clear and descriptive manner.
