Kevin Zhang is the structural engineer who tests every new Oakline design against BIFMA standards before it goes into production.
Kevin Zhang
Kevin Zhang joined Oakline Furniture in 2014 and leads structural engineering in our R&D department. He turns design concepts into production drawings, selects joinery and hardware, and runs load and fatigue tests in our in-house test lab.
Kevin set up the lab in 2018 to test office chairs and desks to BIFMA X5.1 and X5.5 standards. Each year he and his 4 engineers test about 120 prototypes, including seat drop, backrest fatigue and stability tests, before any model is released for mass production.
His work underpins our 5-year structural warranty and helps hospitality clients pass project specifications without third-party retesting.
- Built the in-house BIFMA test lab in 2018
- About 120 prototypes tested per year
- Expert in mortise and tenon and knock-down joinery
