Reference: Common Dimensions, Angles and Heights for Seating Designers
Is that neutral position, to have the elbows so far in front of the torso? Seems kinda like unnecessary stress on the deltoids. Earnestly asking.
Thanks for this post. Very timely, I've started thinking through a seating project and am getting some good ideas here.
I worked in seating for years. The CMD device developed by Herman Miller was an invaluable tool. It was the only way to accurately measure chair dimensions for BIFMA, EN standards etc....
Thanks for the extensive list! One source that cannot be missing is dined.io.tudelft.nl/en, a large collection of anthropometric data from Delft University of Technology that can be accessed with a free account.
There is an extensive software collection of human measurements called PeopleSize.
I have no affiliation.

Thanks for this article, I am taller than average so I find most furniture not as comfortable as it should be. If you felt so inclined an article about the limited options for vehicles for those of us that are outside the 80 percentile would be interesting.
Very usefull all-in-one material. Just gonna translate dimensions to metric and use it when will forget.
