About this block
Bench-seat sofa with two bolster pillows, drawn in plan, front and side elevation, the front and side elevations projected from its 3D model with hidden lines removed. It measures 5' 4" wide, 2' 10" deep and 2' 6" high (1.64 m × 87 cm × 75 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 Living and dining room furniture library: 167 blocks drawn to one standard, each one available on its own.
In practice
Where it goes
A compact bench-seat sofa for the plan of a studio apartment, a hotel room foot-of-bed position or a small waiting bay; the single seat cushion and two bolsters read as a simple outline on small-scale plans. Put it at the foot of a bed or under a window in an apartment plan.
Clearances to leave
At 65 in (164 cm) it fits under a 71 in (180 cm) window with 3 in (8 cm) to each reveal, and at the foot of a 63 in (160 cm) bed it matches the width. Keep 36 in (90 cm) between it and the bed end if people pass, and 15½ in (40 cm) to a coffee table in front.
Pairs with
Set it against the Two-seat sofa with slim arms and projecting seat for a larger room, with the Small square side table with inset top at one end and the Potted plant with spiky leaves in ribbed pot nearby; bolsters in a stripe.

Design notes
- Coffee table 15½" to 19½" from the sofa: close enough to reach a cup, far enough for your knees.
- Keep main walkways 3' 0" wide; 2' 6" is the tightest comfortable passage.
- For a 65-inch screen, sit about 6' 7" to 11' 2" away, measured from the seated head.
- Armchairs facing each other across the table make a conversation area; keep the seats within about 9' 10" of each other.
