Abstract
The disclosure relates to a customized chair, a measuring chair, and method of custom fitting a chair produced from standardized components to a unique individual. The chair includes a universal C-frame and a series of standardized upholstered members which serve as supports for the seat, the lumbar region of the back, the thoracic region and the cervical region or neck. These standardized components are fitted together with a unique set of measurements by means of a plurality of molding blocks between the upholstered members and the universal C-frame. A measuring chair for determining the necessary measurements and dimensions is disclosed along with a jig for cutting the blocks as necessary to produce a customized chair with unique dimensions and measurements. The customized chair thereby duplicates the measurements obtained from the individual while sitting in the measuring chair.
