If you look at the drawing, you can see the proper floor line, I'm afraid that I tilted it back when I posted it. The questions of where the head, feet etc are best positioned during the rocking action is of great interest to me. I've been thinking a lot about the position that we naturally take when we tip back on the legs of a regular chair (I know we aren't supposed too!). In the tipped position, we are enacting a personal balancing act that most likely has implications for chair design.

The first is: am I comfortable with my feet flat on the floor? The balance looks to be tipped pretty far back. The other has do do with supporting the neck while sitting back. Can I comfortably keep my head and neck in line with my back or will I feel the need to move my head forward while rocking back, to counteract the feeling of falling backwards?<br /><br />I'm sure these are basic things you've considered all along and I have no experience designing chairs. It would seem to me that these types of consideration, though, would point to the need of individually, custom-sized chairs, a plus for the handcrafted maker.<br />It's good to read a new post from you.<br />Best,<br />Ticotico vogtnoreply@blogger.com
