The document discusses anthropometrics as they relate to residential seating and living spaces. It provides guidelines and dimensional recommendations for designing seating such as sofas, chairs, and banquette seating based on male and female body dimensions. Diagrams show appropriate dimensions for aspects like seat width, depth, height, and backrest height. Clearances between seating and tables are also addressed. The goal is to design seating and spaces that are ergonomically responsive to human body sizes and shapes for comfort.

4. ANTHROPOMETRICS OF SEATING
The Design Of Seating Can Be Traced At Least To Antiquity. The Stool, For Example, Had Already Been
Developed Into A Valued Article Of Furniture By The Egyptians As Far Back As 2050 B.C. And He Chair As Far
Back As 1600 B.C.
Despite Its Ubiquity And Long History, However, Seating Is Still One Of The Most Poorly Designed Elements
Of Interior Space. Industrial Designer Neil's Different Has Said That ‘’Chair Design Is The Acid Test For
Designers.
One Of The Major Difficulties In The Design Of Seating Is That Sitting Is, Quite Frequently, Viewed As A Static
Activity While In Actuality, It Is A Rather Dynamic One.
Paradoxically, A Chair That Is Anthropometrically Correct May Not Necessarily Be Comfortable As Well.
If The Design, However, Is Simply Not Responsive At All To Human Dimensions And Body Size, There Is No
Question That The Seating Will, In Fact, Be Uncomfortable.
Another Difficulty Is That Very Little Data Are Available With Respect To The Biomechanics Of Chair Design
And Practically No Research Has Been Published With Respect To ‘’Comfort’’ .
All That Can Be Provided In This Section, As Well As In Part C, Are Some Broad Guidelines, Basic Concepts,
And Recommendation.

The top diagram shows the more
critical measurements to be
considered in the design of the
typical work or secretarial chair.
To function properly, its design
must be responsive to human
dimension. Anthropometrically
are buttock-popliteal length and
popliteal height. Provision for
support of the lumbar region by
proper location of a backrest is
essential for a successful design.

The bottom diagram shows the
dimensions for an executive
chair, a type intended for a longer
duration of use. The buttock
popliteal length governs the seat
depth. The very large person,
however, would find that such a
depth might leave a substantial

The easy chair is a difficult chair
type to design, or establish
guidelines for, since it is primarily
intended for relaxation and
comfort-qualities which are
highly personal. Design should
allow the user to change body
posture. The drawing at the
bottom provides basic
dimensional information for the
design of a drafting stool, which
is similar in many respects to the
secretarial chair.

THE VARIETY OF HUMAN ACTIVITY THAT OCCURS WITHIN RESIDENTIAL SPACES, WHETHER THEY BE STUDIO
APARTMENTS, TWO AND THREE BEDROOM COOPERATIVES, OR SUBURBAN HOUSES, IS FORMIDABLE.
IT IS WITHIN THIS SINGLE ENVIRONMENT THAT PEOPLE SLEEP, DINE, RELAX, MEDITATE, ENTERTAIN AND ARE
ENTERTAINED, MAKE LOVE, DO HOUSEWORK, READ, COOK, BATHE, ARE CONCEIVED, AND IN SOME CASES ARE BORN
OR DIE.
IT IS ALSO WITHIN THESE SPACES THAT PEOPLE SPEND AT LEAST HALF OF THEIR WALKING HOURS AND ARE
SUBJECTED TO MOST OF THE PHYSICAL INJURIES THEY ARE LIKELY TO SUSTAIN DURING THE COURSE OF THEIR
LIFETIME.
IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO EXPLORE THE USE OF OVERHEAD SPACE, TO HAVE A SINGLE PORTION OF THE SPACE
PERFORM SEVERAL FUNCTIONS, OR TO ACCOMMODATE A RESIDENTIAL FUNCTION.

The Designer Are The Clearance Around The Table And The Number Of People A Table Particular Size Can
Accommodate.
The Clearance At The Very Least Accommodate Two Elements: (1)the Space Occupied By The Chair, And (2)
The Maximum Body Breadth Of A Person Of Larger Body Size As He Circulates Between The Chair And The
Wall.
It Should Also Be Noted That The Size Of The Place Setting Will Determine How Much Table Area Will Be
Available For Centrally Located Shared Elements, Such As Beverages Or Serving Dishes.
The Drawing On The Followings Pages Examine All These Conditions And Should Be Helpful Not Only In
Making Preliminary Design Assumptions, But More Importantly In Establishing An Approach For Individual

The Drawing on The Following Pages Explore The Relationship of Human Dimension to The Various Components of
Sleeping Spaces, The Most Obvious Being The Bed Itself, Both in its Overhead Space-saving Design.
Often if a Designer is Preoccupied With Glamorizing The Sleeping Environment, Some of The More Basic
Anthropometric Considerations are Ignored.
If a View to Exterior of The Space is Important, What Impact Does The Sill Height Have in The Sight Lines With The
Human Body in a Reclining Position?
Is there Adequate Clearance Between The Bed and a Dresser, With a Drawer Extended For Circulation?
How High Should a Storage Shelf be Located to be Within Reach?
How High Should the Mirror be Over a Dressing Table for Comfortable Use?
What Can be Equally Misleading is For The Designer to Use Himself or Herself as a Model in An Attempt to Simulate
Conditions Related to Reach and Clearance Situations, Since What May Accommodate The Designer, May Not
Accommodate The Majority of Users.
The Following Drawings Examine Human Body Size, in Relation to The Various Design Situations Mentioned, in
Terms of The Anthropometric Considerations Indicated in The Above Matrix.
