Armchair with bolster back and cross-marked cushion
Free CAD block from the Sofas library (193 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Armchair with bolster back and cross-marked cushion, drawn in plan, front and side elevation, the elevations drawn to match the plan. It measures 2' 8" wide, 2' 5" deep and 2' 8" high (82 cm × 75 cm × 82 cm), and it is drawn 1:1, full size, so it drops into any drawing set up in meters or in inches without rescaling.
It also comes as a 3D model built from these drawings.
From the Sofas library: 193 blocks drawn to one standard, each one available on its own.
In practice
Where it goes
Apartments, staff rooms and the family corner of a doctor's office are where this bolster-back armchair goes, usually as the single chair beside the matching sofa. On the plan it sits at right angles to the two-seater or beside a lamp table; the cross-marked cushion drawn at ¼ in = 1 ft (1:50) shows the seat, so the chair reads as a place to sit rather than a side table.
Clearances to leave
Leave 24 in (60 cm) on the side used to get in and out, and 18 in (45 cm) to a coffee table. With 32 in (82 cm) of width and 29 in (74 cm) of depth it matches the two-seat bolster sofa in depth, so the two line up along a wall with their fronts flush, and a 4 in (10 cm) gap between them is enough.
Pairs with
It belongs with the Two-seat sofa with bolster backs and cross-marked cushions and the Four-seat sofa with bolster backs and cross-marked cushions, and the Armchair with back bolster and protruding feet is a near match from the other library. One in a stripe.

- Door swing to the nearest fixture20"Minimum 2", recommended 4"
Design notes
- Walkway beside the bed: 2' 0" minimum, 2' 6" recommended, 3' 0" ideal. These are the clearances drawn in the cadblock bed library.
- Keep about 2' 11" clear in front of a closet so the doors open and you can stand at it.
- Bedside tables 40 to 60 cm wide, with the top roughly level with the mattress, about 21½" to 2' 2" from the floor.
- Keep the door swing free of furniture, and avoid placing the bed in line with the door.
