The Design Story
Tailors take a three dimensional approach when designing men's suits, and that inspired Niels Diffrient to apply that same methodology. The result is the World chair, a minimal mesh task chair with a back that automatically conforms to the user. He collaborated with textile designer Elizabeth Whelan, to design a flexible but strong non-stretch mesh, so the chair's backrest takes on the shape of the sitter. The result is the Diffrient World chair, a task chair that is simple but beautiful, and supports the user instantly.
"If every chair was made the way the World Chair was, we would cut in half all the material used for task chairs."
Niels Diffrient, Designer
