Along with the progress of history of human design, furniture design has undergone a qualitative leap in nearly a century. Especially people paying more and more attention on functionalism and humanity, the theory of people-oriented design has been respected.The people-oriented design concept has a very important theoretical basis--ergonomics. Furniture humanized design in a certain sense, is in furniture design, the application of ergonomics theory makes the design of furniture more in line with the requirements of the people.Scandinavian furniture design styles are known as "the humane functionalism" style. The design is very extensive and detailed in consideration of human. Many Scandinavian designers have conducted painstaking researches on ergonomics, the application for ergonomic have reached a very high level. Research and application on ergonomics is the source of their humane design.Based on the design of the Nordic chair furniture, this article discussed how the Nordic chair furniture applies ergonomic. There are many designers in their design widely applied ergonomics rule in the Nordic school. For example, Frederic Yrjo Kukkapuro for human body curve and the curve of the seat, designed and manufactured many ergonomic chairs. Sweden’s IKEA, the Scandinavian furniture design window, contains a lot of examples of good ergonomic chair. These chairs summed up the good law of ergonomic chair furniture design. This law can enlighten our day-to-day design "how to correctly apply ergonomics". Provide benign and reasonable development path for our design work.
