HR Office Chair Research and Development

Admin October 19, 2026

HR office chair research and development involves multiple aspects such as appearance design, process planning, and full-process design.

Appearance Design: Taking UE Furniture Co., Ltd. as an example, its office chair R&D position places great emphasis on appearance design and innovation. R&D personnel are responsible for the appearance design of products, endowing office chairs with novel appearances through unique creativity and design concepts. After completing the design concept, they need to output 3D appearance modeling diagrams. Using professional 3D modeling software, they transform design concepts into intuitive three-dimensional models for subsequent evaluation and modification. Meanwhile, hand-drawn sketches or computer PS rendering diagrams are also important output results. Hand-drawn sketches can quickly record inspiration, while computer PS rendering diagrams can present colors and materials in more detail. In addition, for image display areas such as exhibitions and showrooms, R&D personnel also need to output product image diagrams to attract customers' attention and enhance the product display effect.

R&D Process: The R&D process of Milang office chairs is representative. In the preparation stage, the R&D team conducts in-depth research on typical products with different style concepts, covering multiple aspects such as the product's R&D concept, development process, functions, and forms. Through this approach, they understand the characteristics and advantages of various office chairs on the market, providing references for subsequent R&D work. At the same time, they select representative world-famous chairs for in-depth research, disassembling and analyzing their structures, principles, and material function configurations to thoroughly understand their success factors. During the disassembly and analysis stage, R&D personnel find that existing chairs have limited protective effects on the body, thus proposing an innovation direction, which is to design a chair that can not only meet the support needs of different body type standards but also provide support to the body in different normal states to meet users' diverse needs.

Full-Process Design: The seat product designer position at Kano Office Furniture is responsible for the full-process design work of office seat products from concept to mass production. This requires designers to not only have innovative design capabilities but also have a certain understanding of product production processes and cost control. From the initial product concept conception to the continuous optimization of design plans, and then to communication and coordination with the production department to ensure smooth mass production, designers need to participate throughout the process to ensure that the product's design concept can be fully presented and meet market demands and production requirements.
