Last week, DESIGNING *for humans, the blog maintained by Rob Tannen, alerted readers that the March issue of Metropolis covered ergonomics in their “What is Good Design?” section.  So this weekend I took the opportunity to stop by Barnes & Noble in Boise to purchase a copy.

The 29-page special product issue section is divided into 10 “good” categories, each with an accompanying article.  They include:

  • Sustainable
  • Accessible
  • Functional
  • Well Made
  • Emotionally Resonant
  • Enduring
  • Socially Beneficial
  • Beautiful
  • Ergonomic
  • Affordable

The ergonomics article focuses on research to perfect the design and usefulness of prosthetics.
