Designing a seat-furniture testing equipment

Abstract

In the furniture industry, great attention is placed on the comfort of seat furniture. In order to increase comfort new constructions and materials are introduced in the production of seat furniture. A new seat furniture before it gets to the customer goes through a multi-step testing process. One of the processes is the durability testing. The aim is to design a testing device that can be used simply and effectively for testing in this phase of furniture design. This paper summarizes some steps of designing this seat furniture testing equipment.
