Designing products that ‘fit’ humans is know as ergonomics. This field was pioneered by Henry Dreyfuss (1900’s) an American industrial designer who collected an enormous amount of information about the human anatomy relevant to design. This data, compiled for all sizes and shapes of people, is called anthropometric data and the study became known as anthropometrics. Anthropometrics…… Henry Dreyfuss used statistics to compile tables that would make the information collected useable. He broke the population down into men and women, children of different age groups, people seated and people standing, people in wheelchairs, and many other categories. 5th-95th percentile range 5th, 50th, or 95th?
