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.
