Problem Statement
Haworth had a large new product review coming before launching into production. But the height-adjustable lumbar support design wasn’t meeting expectations. Our customer needed a “simple yet elegant” design. They pulled in DISHER for product design engineering support.
What We Did
A seasoned DISHER product designer joined with a small team of Haworth engineers and industrial designers to develop a sleeker design and robust lumbar support. Together, here’s what we did:
- Ideation/brainstorming
- Prototyping
- CAD
- Sustainable Material Selection
- Ergonomic Data Analysis
The Fern office chair was successfully launched and has become a flagship chair for Haworth earning 16 patents, numerous awards, and fantastic success in the marketplace.
