Proceeding on the party and government decisions "On the development of old people's and nursing homes" and on the tasks of the "Working group for appropriate furniture for old people" with the Ministry of Health, 19 measurements and criteria for the design of a lounge-chair for elderly people are demonstrated on the basis of industrial-anthropologically relevant measurements and functions of the body. These data are the scientific foundation for the work of designers and constructors of furniture. By three pictures, the development of the lounge-chair from the industrial-anthropological foundations to the production sample is illustrated.
