I find this man to be very interesting, because he is so passionate about his endeavors that he makes them interesting as well. Airplanes have always been revered as incredible, something people never thought possible. Chairs are generally pretty immobile, simple staple items wherever you go, even on the go in planes themselves. People see them everywhere, and most of the time they just are not impressive. Neils Diffrient's passion for bringing the romance into every object, has translated into an excellent work ethic, and therefore functional, beautiful designs.
Diffrient got me thinking about how really everything is very much connected. He once had his heart set on working in the field of aeronautics, and ended up designing chairs for land, air, and sea. As well as finding his path in life, he improved the connection between the human body and that which he sits on. The chair he displayed in is presentation was built with functional versatility, in a pleasing-to-the-eye package. It just goes to show that a good design is not just beautiful, but also sets a standard in it's field.
On a side note, I find it funny that an innovator such as himself has a last name that is so very close to literally being Different.
