The Design Story
Using his insight of how tailors take a three dimensional approach when designing men’s suits, Niels Diffrient created a minimal mesh task chair with a back that will automatically conform to the user. Working together with textile designer Elizabeth Whelan, they came up a flexible but strong non-stretch mesh, so the backrest takes on the shape of the sitter. The end 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.”
