How do you design a chair for acceptance by another person? Not by thinking of what the other guy wants, but by coming to terms with the fact that we're a hell of a lot more like each other than we're different. What you try to do [as a designer] is satisfy your real gut instinct and work your way through your idiosyncrasies; make the first step of understanding without trying to introduce our personalities.
