3 Questions

I found a brief article online which included Niels Diffrient's career highlights and three questions with his answers. I am going to post my own answers in the comments -- you should too!

"While a student at Cranbrook Academy of Art in the late 40’s early 50’s, Niels Diffrient also worked as a designer and model-maker in Eero Saarinen’s practice. This is just the beginning of an illustrious design career in which ergonomic study and design has become a passion and expertise. Designing office seat furniture for Knoll and Sunar-Hausermann in the 80’s preceded Diffrient’s current pursuits at Humanscale, the ergonomic workplace furniture and accessories design manufacturer." - http://www.otto-otto.com/2009/04/3-questions-niels-diffrient/
