When Design Meets Ergonomics – And When They Fail Together

By Zoli Erdos on November 7, 2009

Styling and ergonomics don’t always go hand in hand. Look at these cool chairs:

And look is about all you can do – good luck trying to sit in them for a longer period.

But in the case of the latest Mouse War, you have great design, ergonomics and functionality all on one side, and ugly bulkiness and utter uselessness on the other. But I’m not telling which is which 🙂

(P.S. I seriously thought it was a joke – but we’re nowhere near April 1st)

Very true… it’s great to see that more and more companies are starting to consider style as much as ergonomic function.
