This guide aims to provide designers with the tools needed to incorporate ergonomics, user trials, standards and legislation into the design process for domestic furniture
This valuable resource is essential for designers and manufacturers in the kitchen sector. It highlights the significance of ergonomic design in improving the usability and satisfaction of a kitchen. The emphasis is placed on prioritising function over form.
The household kitchen serves multiple purposes beyond cooking, making it a dynamic environment. However, its frequent use by different individuals poses a unique challenge. To ensure optimal efficiency, designers must prioritize ergonomics in their approach.

It is therefore vital to consider all relevant information to avoid overlooking crucial factors and ending up with a poorly designed space.
