The data behind your office chair is older than you think — and it wasn't collected with you in mind.

In this deep dive, we unpack one of the most quietly consequential facts in the furniture industry: the ergonomic standards that define seat heights, desk clearances, and workstation dimensions in virtually every commercial space today are largely derived from a 1988 U.S. Army anthropometric survey. We trace how that single dataset became the foundation of modern standards like HFES 100 and BIFMA G1, who gets designed for — and who gets left out — and what progressive designers and business owners should be asking before they spec their next fit out.

Sharp knowledge. No filler. This is Built for Tomorrow.
